The vibe
The city of Hyères created this dog beach on Mérou beach, Boulevard du Front de Mer, after a petition with 25,000 signatures — the area has existed since August 2022. Unlike many beaches that close to dogs in summer, this one stays open year-round, with no seasonal restriction. The area is marked off with wooden "ganivelle" fencing and clear signage, and a few pines provide some welcome shade on hot days.
What to know before you go
The ground is a mix of sand and pebbles depending on the spot. A free, partially shaded municipal car park sits about 200 m past the village of L'Ayguade, on the right coming from Hyères — it fills up fast on weekends in high season, so it's best to arrive early. Poop-bag dispensers and bins are installed at the entrances to the area. The exact leash/off-leash rule could not be confirmed with absolute certainty from an official source consulted remotely: as a precaution, keep your dog on leash on arrival and watch the on-site signage.
Nearby
The Cani Plouf in Le Pradet, to the west, is another good year-round option in this part of the Var. In Hyères itself, a groomer and the O'Créol restaurant near Port de la Capte let you round out the day without leaving the area.
