However, you can walk your dog on the stretches between the beaches. Alternatively, here are a few nearby beaches where your 4-legged friend is more than welcome:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plage du Pacha, Fr\u00e9jus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plage des Esclamandes, Fr\u00e9jus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plage de la Gaillarde Ouest, Roquebrune-sur-Argens<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the best time to swim in Saint-Rapha\u00ebl?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saint-Rapah\u00ebl enjoys a mild to warm Mediterranean climate. The water temperature never drops below 13\u00b0, even in the depths of winter. However, swimming is recommended between June and October. In summer, the Mediterranean Sea heats up to 26\u00b0. So you can swim all year round on the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur. A word of advice: opt for a wetsuit in low season!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Saint-Rapha&#xEB;l\/n-rbrpSX\/Jardin-Bonaparte\/i-gsPWM95\/1\/CsC4cV6kKnCtXDMgMH4Z69VGvBGvLPd6Q59sxzQdS\/L\/Jardin-Bonaparte-Saint-Raphael-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of Jardin Bonaparte, Saint-Rapha&#xEB;l\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View of Jardin Bonaparte, Saint-Rapha\u00ebl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Private beaches in Saint-Rapha\u00ebl<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saint-Rapha\u00ebl is a popular seaside resort on the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, renowned for its beautiful sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters.
