Pampelonne Beach hosts 27 licensed beach clubs across five kilometres of sand. The hierarchy shifts every season, but the institutions remain.
The classics
Club 55 still defines lunch — book by January for August. Nikki Beach is the long-running party institution. La Plage des Jumeaux is the most family-friendly of the marquee clubs.
The new generation
Loulou Ramatuelle, Indie Beach, Verde Beach and the Tropezina relaunch have shifted the social centre southward. Bagatelle's Pampelonne outpost handles the bridge between day and night.
Logistics
La Môle (LTT) is the closest private jet airport — eight minutes to Saint-Tropez town. Larger jets typically use Nice or Cannes-Mandelieu with a helicopter or yacht tender for the final leg.
