Plage de Piémanson, France

Mingle with flamingos, Camargue horses and nudists. With the Atlantic Ocean to its west, the Mediterranean to its south and the English Channel up north, France has no  shortage of picturesque beaches.

For sheer scale, gloriously unspoilt wilderness and nude bathing, however, Plage de Piémanson ranks among the finest. Part of Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue, this obscure beach has tawny sand that stretches forever. Clear Mediterranean waves lap at the shore. Tourists roast under the sun, many of them French and German, some of them nude.

To get there, you’ll have to drive through colonies of pink flamingoes. Also keep an eye out for Camargue horses, an ancient breed of white horse native to the region that roams wild in the reserve.

Best Quiet Beaches between Nice, France and Malaga Spain

We are traveling from Nice to Spain for about 2 months between July and August. We are looking for advice on quiet beaches between Nice France and Malaga, Spain. We are early 40's couple with two girls age 11 and 13. We have been reading a lot of the threads on here and researching what others have said about this area. Like many others, we are asking if people can tell us what they think the best beach areas are between these two areas? We have read the other posts with people not being specific enough about what they like in a beach, so we have come up with our list of what we like in a beach. Also, we have been to Nice many times and like the beaches there although the main thing we don't like in Nice is that the water gets deep after only a few meters off shore. We have read from others that it helps to say what we like in a beach. So here is what we like in a beach:

1. Clean sand or rocks
2. Clean light colored water
3. Small waves
4. Shallow water if possible
5. Quiet beaches with an easy going non-party crowd meaning no drunk or loud party persons and no club DJs blasting their music
6. Clean bathrooms
7. A Free beach so were not renting 4 loungers a day, especially when they are lined up in rows
8. Easy beach access -we can walk down a slope, but we don't want to see our kids climb down a cliff side to get to the beach
9. Not to many critters walking/flying around i.e. sand fleas, flys, mosquitoes
11. In the water Not to many jellyfish or seaweed so that we don't have to feel like we constantly have to watch what is swimming around with us.

We don't need a lot of other things going on such as museums so we don't mind it being off the beaten path. We also work during part of the day via the internet so we can not really stay at any campsites. We also avoid resorts and just rent vacation rentals.
I know that we probably can't get that all but I would rather be too specific than too general. Thanks
