Our top reasons to get away to a campsite with direct access to the beach
A campsite with direct beach access is usually located on the seafront or very close by. From your holiday rental or camping pitch, it’ll be just a short walk to the beach, where you can dive straight into the water! The ideal choice for a family holiday with the kids!
Campsites with direct access to the beach mean you won’t need the car whenever you fancy heading to the beach. A walk is much more enjoyable and you won’t waste time in the traffic. On holiday, the beach waits for no one!
Campsites with direct access to the beach are located across France, Italy and Spain.
- Campsites with access to the Mediterranean Sea: head to the south of France and, for example, the Sérignan-Plage, Frontignan-Plage or Vendres-Plage campsites in the Hérault, or to south-east France and the Saint-Raphaël campsite in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. In Corsica, check out the Venzolasca campsite; in Italy, take a look at the campsites in Tuscany; and in Spain, how about the campsites in Catalonia and Valence?

At a beachside campsite, you’ll find a varied selection of holiday rentals and camping pitches to suit every kind of holidaymaker. Some rental accommodation and certain pitches even offer a sea view and direct access to the beach! Ask for more information at the time of booking.

It all depends on the type of holiday you’re looking for. For a getaway with a summertime vibe, we of course recommend staying at a campsite during the summer holidays. It’s the busiest time of year and all the activities and entertainment are in full swing at the campsite.
The camping season starts in spring, around Easter time, and ends with the Indian summer. Opening and closing times differ from one campsite to another. You’re advised to check the info page for each campsite. Not all the activities and entertainment will be available. Even so, you can savour the peace and quiet at the beach and at the swimming pool or water park. If you’re unable to take a full week’s holiday, opt for a camping weekend during May Day weekend or Whitsun.
And if you haven’t set your holiday dates yet, no need to worry – you can always book your stay at a campsite with direct beach access at the last minute!
