I've heard about the beach clubs in St Tropez, which one is the nicest, not too loud or too young.....just chic and relaxing.
To the best of my Knowledge there are NO Beach clubs in St Tropez, the town is tiny and has one tiny public beach!
The St Tropez "Beach Clubs" are pretty much all about 5 miles away by road on the other side of the out crop on the strip of sand near Ramatuelle, Pampelonne.
The whole point of beach clubs in St Tropez is to be "Chic" and excessive the young beautiful things will prevail with their older richer wallets looking on ,the prices WILL be sky high plus the best will require you to book in advance and you will have to pay to park. In fact be prepared to pay for everything and it will NOT be cheap.
You WILL be subjected to lots of snorking British Public School toffs who can be THE worst people to be around especially when they start spraying the Cristal Champagne around Gangsta style!!!!!!!
Example Prices:
Lunch with 1 bottle wine will set you back about €250 (make sure you book the chic second sitting but you will need to book 2 weeks in advance!)
A proper sun lounger in Club 55 will be around €100 per person per day but an air bed will will only set you back about €50!!!!!
Champagne? If you have to ask you cant afford it!!!
I should add all those prices were for Club 5. But if you like sitting on the same beach as people pretending to be rich, and trying to spot the ones who really are rich you will love it!
Most of the other notable beach clubs are on the same stretch of sand ALL of them are massively over priced and you cant expect the same off hand service from the staff in each of them, with the possible exception of Kon Tiki and Toison D'Or BUT these are not true beach clubs.
One thing I missed out In most of the exclusive beach clubs you will NOT be allowed to take your own drinks in you must buy theirs!
Looking at those boats makes you dream some time you will have such money and status so you can afford having a boat, cruising the seas and harboring in the most expensive ports like this one. I can imagine a day in this port costs way much more than an expensive hotel. But normal people like me can enjoy watching and dreaming.
Yes there is a tourist office in St. Tropez and it is right near the start of the harbor pathway. It is very useful to go in and ask for available accommodation. They give you a map and points the hotels. If you are happy with the price they phone the hotel and tell them you are coming, like a reservation, because in summer time it's pretty hard to find a hotel. Under EUR 150 per night that is.
Once an insignificant fishing village, this jet set haven became popular as an artists’ colony in the late 19th century. But it was Roger Vadim’s movie, And God Created Woman, filmed here with Brigitte Bardot that brought about the international cult of Tropezian sun and celebrities. Located at the end of its own peninsula, St. Tropez suddenly became the talk of the jet set, which propelled the tiny port into world fame.
A hundred years ago not even a proper road lead to St. Tropez; access was mainly by boat. Novelist Guy de Maupassant sailed his yacht into the port in 1880. The neo-Impressionist painter Paul Signac followed, as did a number of other famous artists and writers.
By the time of World War I, St. Tropez was well established as a hangout for Bohemians.
The old part surrounding the harbour is the focal point. Here, narrow streets are packed between Quai Jean Jaurès, Place des Lices and what is left of the 16th-century citadel. The harbour is filled with sleek, gleaming yachts that have replaced the simple fishing boats. Pastel coloured houses ring the waterfront, presenting the classic St.Tropez impression of sidewalk cafés with martini sippers, small boutiques with the latest fashions and painters with their easels on the quayside.
If you are sun-hungry, there are beachfront resort hotels just outside of St.Tropez. Trips into the surrounding countryside let you discover Provençal hilltop villages, which have retained their rustic charm and laid back way of life. St. Tropez has it all and never fails to deliver excitement and entertainment.
SHOPPING
Many fashionable boutiques line the narrow streets of St. Tropez. Here you can find designer fashions, resort wear and souvenir items. Some shops observe lunchtime and close between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. The local currency is the euro.
CUISINE
Quai Jean Jaurès is full of open-air eateries and cafés. Whether you fancy a snack of a freshly baked baguette and local cheese or a leisurely French meal with wine, either one will be most enjoyable.
The difference is in the price!
OTHER SIGHTS
Citadel
Standing on a hillock at the east end of town, the citadel features a fine keep with three round towers built in the 16th century. From the ramparts there is a fine panorama of St-Tropez, the bay and Ste-Maxime.

Located in the citadel, it contains information about the 1944 Allied landings as well as exhibits dealing with the region’s early maritime history.
