Pampelonne runs down the east side of the peninsula at Ramatuelle, twenty minutes from Saint-Tropez: pale sand, water that stays shallow and warm a long way out, and no rock anywhere under the boat. Anchor a hundred metres off and the whole beach is in front of you.

Lunch is laid on the aft deck with the sand a swim away, the seabobs go in off the platform, and the afternoon runs as long as the light does. When the beach fills, you are the ones with the quiet end of it.

The captain reads the morning and picks the side of the bay the wind is not on. If it is not right on the day, we go somewhere that is.

What the captain would tell you

The hour to be there
One o’clock onwards. It is an afternoon, not a morning.
The water
Clean sand, shallow and warm close in, no rock to worry about.
The wind
Flat in a westerly. In an easterly the captain will suggest the other side.
