Bau Rouge Beach

For the people of Carqueirannais, Bau Rouge evokes above all the Pointe du Bau Rouge, a formidable landmark visible from the open sea and the Giens peninsula.
Here, geological layers superimpose wine-colored sandstones, purplish sandstone pelites and lighter arkoses.
The site is well known to summer visitors, sea urchin fishermen and naturists alike...
To get there, you have to climb 220 steps!
It's hard to resist taking a dip. However, it is dangerous to venture into the water, especially in mistral or easterly winds.
The coastal path is impassable. It ends at the foot of the Pointe du Bau Rouge, and it is advisable to climb back up to the mine to reach Cap Garonne.
