The Grande Plage at Saint-Jean de Luz, not far from the border that separates France from Spain, looks just like those paradisiacal locations you'd expect to find out in the Caribbean Sea. Mountains and forest-covered hills stretch out in every direction as you stroll along the crescent-shaped bay of this remarkable beach. Surfing and swimming conditions are excellent at this beach and the sands are so soft and soothing, you'll never want to leave. In short, this is one of the best beaches to visit in the south of France, especially if you’re planning on hopping over the border and exploring a little of the Spanish coastline too.
