Nino Beach (Casino Barriere)

Nino Beach is the private beach of the Casino Barriere de Sainte-Maxime, on the town-centre beach directly in front of the casino on the avenue Charles-de-Gaulle. It is run as the summer extension of Nino, the casino's Mediterranean brasserie: wooden sunbeds, mattresses and cream parasols on the sand, a beach bar for cocktails after a swim, and the option to have lunch with your feet in the sand rather than in the restaurant. The kitchen is French and Italian, with local fish, fresh pasta and a beef tartare among the regular dishes, all made from seasonal produce. It is the beach for anyone staying in the centre, next to the promenade and the port, with the casino's parking behind. There is a children's area and access for reduced mobility. The beach season runs from late April to the end of September; lounger rates are not published.
