Like any destination in the South of France, the busiest season in Port Grimaud tends to be in July and August, when temperatures are their warmest and marinas at their busiest.

Luckily, there is an abundance of beaches scattered along the French Riviera that are all easily accessible on your chartered yacht. Towards the south, a tranquil corner of the town looks out towards Saint Tropez with the stunning architecture of this quaint town providing a lovely backdrop. Families may love Port-Grimaud 1 Beach thanks to its location next to fantastic restaurants and the ability to hire beds for the day – perfect for lounging while you listen to the waves crash on the shore.
