01 · MORNING
Arrive early
Enjoy the beach before parking and access get busier.
BEACH · LA CROIX-VALMER
Gigaro works as a straightforward family beach or as the gateway to Cap Lardier. That double use is the point.
LE GOLFE TAKE
“At Gigaro, the beach is often the beginning rather than the end of the plan.”
You can stay on the sand, but the place becomes more distinctive once you move toward the coves and coastal trail.
HALF A DAY
01 · MORNING
Enjoy the beach before parking and access get busier.
02 · SEA
Swimming and snorkelling work perfectly without over-planning.
03 · TRAIL
The official guide lists several routes from Gigaro, from the Semaphore loop to longer cap itineraries.
CAP LARDIER
The trail quickly leaves the beach for a much more natural coastline. Official loops make it possible to match the walk to the group.
GOOD TO KNOW
The longer walks are substantial. In summer, check access, wildfire risk, water and weather before setting out.
THE MATCH
Easier for families on the sand than l'Escalet, but capable of becoming much more active once you join the trail.
BEACH
La Croix-Valmer.
TRAIL
Gateway to Cap Lardier.
LOOP
Semaphore: 6.2 km in official guide.

Choose access and the type of day; confirm meals, sunbeds and other services separately.
FOR YOUR DATE

The beach can be a simple stop; a walk towards the cape needs a route and a planned return.
