"Dorée beach is a sandy beach located in the north of Sanary. For the year 2025, as part of the 'bathing water quality' approach, it was classified as 'excellent quality'."
Dorée Beach is an extension of Lido Beach. Together, they form the largest beach in Sanary.
You’ll find parking spaces along the entire length of Route de Bandol, which overlooks the beaches.
Swimming safety is ensured by certified lifeguards (BNSSA), assisted by first aid responders (PSE2):

At the city council meeting on February 25, 2015, the municipality committed to obtaining certification for the management of bathing water quality in order to guarantee safe bathing conditions for beachgoers.
