Do you dream of the sound of crashing waves and urgently need to go on holiday? Then we have the perfect mix: apartments to rent near the beach.
We understand the need to step onto the fine golden sand of the French beaches, but to enjoy a full day in the outdoors, you need to get a good night's rest in a rural apartment.
In France there are plenty of apartments near the beach waiting for you with open doors. Will Corsica, the Basque coast or Marseille be the place for you? That's up to you, but first, don't forget to take a look at these tips.
DISTANCE FROM THE BEACH
When you are looking for an apartment, do you check if it is next to the beach? Then, that means you are a lover of the seaside and when you are on holiday, you always make sure to measure the metres that separate you from the beach.
In France there are a lot of apartments that are a real tourist attraction because they are located close to the beaches, and this is something to keep in mind. To avoid a long walk to plant your towel on the golden sands of, say, the Côte d'Azur or Corsica, locate your beach apartment and find out how far your accommodation will be from the beach.
This will help you save time and allow you to plan your holidays in advance.
WHAT KIND OF BEACH CAN I FIND CLOSE TO ME?
Once you know how far you will be from the beach, it's time to find out what kind of beach you have nearby. There are many types of beaches: rocky or sandy; crowded or almost unknown and even unspoilt beaches.
And if you're travelling with animals, you'll also need to know whether the beach you want to go to allows them, or even if it is a nudist beach, should you be interested in this option.
It won't take you long to find out all this and yet it will avoid any surprises so that you can enjoy the sound of the waves crashing on the sand without any surprises.
BEACH SERVICES
Before leaving your apartment by the beach, make sure you know what kind of access it has, especially if you are travelling with children, so you can be prepared beforehand.
Some beaches are difficult to access and almost unknown, such as Calanque d'en Vau beach, whose beauty is worth the effort of getting there; and others are much more accessible, such as Trottel beach, which also offer a great variety of services.
Just as important as its accessibility are the things you will find around it: car parks, restaurants or beach bars, which will guarantee a perfect day of sun and beach.
THE EQUIPMENT
Have you ever forgotten to pack something very important in your suitcase? We don't want that to happen again. That's why, if you're going to rent a beach apartment, the first thing you should pack is your swimsuit, towel, flip-flops and some good sun protection.
If you're travelling by car, you can even bring an umbrella and a cooler bag so you can pack some food and refreshments if you plan to spend several hours on the beach and enjoy a snack there.
With the perfect equipment, your day at the beach will also be perfect.
