The facility is part of the 'Saint-Maur en été' summer initiative organized by the municipal government.
It occupies a strategic position on the loop of the Marne, a river known for its historical leisure and rowing culture.
The site uses temporary infrastructure that is dismantled outside of the summer season to preserve the riverbank environment.
Beach Garden is a seasonal riverside leisure facility situated on the banks of the Marne River in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. It is managed by the local municipality and operates primarily as an outdoor urban beach during the summer months. The site provides imported sand, lounge chairs, and recreational space for residents and visitors. It serves as a community hub for summer activities, offering a riverside environment within the suburban Île-de-France region. The facility is located along the Quai Winston Churchill, capitalizing on the proximity to the Marne’s water edge.
