Relaxing on La Bocca beach

Prefer lazing in the sun? Go to La Bocca, this is a beautiful sandy beach. Ideal for families wanting a day out for a swim without the glimmer and shine of the Côte d'Azur. At this beach you can park for free, there are public showers, umbrellas and sunbeds (for rent). small side note: It is a challenge for the disabled and parents with a pram to enter the beach because of the high wall behind them, which only has a staircase attached to it. Young or old can't get bored on this beach, jet skis, pedal boats, bananas and/or pedal boats can be rented. Are the kids still bored? La Bocca is located near Aqualand Fréjus, a water paradise for young and old.

In short, something for everyone!
