About Plage Naturiste du Saint-Selon
Saint-Selon is a small, wild cove below the cliffs of the Corniche Varoise, between Fabrégas and Cap Sicié on the La Seyne-sur-Mer peninsula. It runs about 200 m in several little bays of grey sand and pebbles, with very clear turquoise water and nothing built nearby. Because it takes real effort to reach, it stays quiet even in July and August, and the path down is marked with a naturist-beach sign. It suits fit visitors looking for seclusion. Bring water, food and shade, because there are no facilities at all.
Getting there
From Anse de Fabrégas drive the Corniche Varoise towards Cap Sicié about 1.7 km to a roadside car park on the right; follow signs towards Jonquet/Malpasset, then take steep stairs down (about 15 min; the climb back is hard). In summer the Corniche is often closed for fire risk: walk the coastal path from Fabrégas beach instead.

Legal context
Nudity is long tolerated on the Jonquet/Saint-Selon coves (the regional tourism board refers to 'the Jonquet naturist beaches'), but no municipal decree designating Saint-Selon was found. Coastal-path sections were closed after rockfalls (2004, 2008); a detour opened in February 2025.
Naturism at Plage Naturiste du Saint-Selon sits under France's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
