My Favorite Beach Club in Saint-Tropez

Last summer we visited Saint-Tropez when I was 20 weeks pregnant, and one of our favorite experiences from that trip was dinner at Jardin Tropezina, a stunning beach club on the coastal town's famous Pampelonne Beach. One of the newest clubs in Saint-Tropez, this spot is one of the most elegant ways to spend a beach day. (And while I'm working on a full Saint-Tropez trip diary this club is so beautiful it deserved a post of it's own because there are so many photos I want to share!) Whether you settle into a couch ensconced in jasmine or one of the sweetheart tables along the edge of the terrace, you're in for a fabulous time. Stylish sun-worshipers wander off the beach for a leisurely lunch starting with radishes and anchovy-garlic dip (addictive) and ending with the region's legendary tarte tropizienne (a must!). The Mediterranean menu by Michelin-starred chef Jean-François Piège is made with the freshest local ingredients, and feels perfectly suited to this sun-soaked region. We especially loved the octopus and "Pizzocaccia" (a cross between pizza and focaccia.)
