Beaches

A Nice :

PLAGE NICE 300x130 Les Plages

Nearly all the beaches in Nice stretch along the sweep of the bay between Rauba Capau and the airport at the other end of the Promenade des Anglais.  At approximately equal intervals along this bay there are about 15 private beaches separated by the public beaches. You are allowed to walk along the length of the bay including the private beaches if you remain close to the sea.  You can walk along the seashore after Palais Maeterlinck between Nice and Villefranche sur Mer

 

A Cap d’Ail :PLAGE MALA 300x225 Beaches

– Plage Marquet is the most suitable for families. On a gentle slope and with easy access, it is home to the “Cercle Nautique” and offers 2 restaurants.

– Plage Mala is a little cove surrounded by vegetation,  accessible on foot down a very steep path. It is also suitable for families and offers 2 restaurants.

– The Plage des Pissarelles is reserved for more sporty types : it is flanked by rocks and is reached via a path that is rather daunting for children.

You can also visit the “Centre Mediterranéen” with its amphitheatre designed by Jean Cocteau and, very close to the sea, the Sacha Guitry Park laid out in terraced embankments next to the villa which once belonged to this famous author. He was not, in fact, the only one to fall beneath the charm of Cap d’Ail. Its 3 km shoreline was also appreciated by many other personalities such as the Prince of Wales, the son of the Czar, the Lumière brothers, Greta Garbo, Apollinaire and, of course, Jean Cocteau…

  • Antibes :  Antibes boasts some gorgeous sandy beaches, both private and public (some argue they are the best on that stretch of the Cote d’Azur), and as such they can get extremely crowded in summer. The Old Antibes Beach is quite small, but it is great for families with young children as it is very safe (it is sheltered from waves by a small breakwater). The Plage du Ponteil and Le Salis Beach (the main public beach) are much bigger, but finding a space to unfurl your towel here in the height of season can still be a challenge. The beaches at Juan les Pins on the opposite side of the peninsular are huge and well worth checking out. At the Cap d’Antibes, La Baie de la Garoupe boasts charming little beaches, most of them private, where you can rent a mattress to spend the day. For watersports Juan les Pins is your best bet: it is alleged water-skiing was invented there.
  • Cannes: plage cannes BeachesCannes has a large stretch of public beach at La Croisette with a huge selection of cafés, restaurants and people watching opportunities just a short walk over the road. The Cannes public beach is very popular in the summer partly because of these bars. A great place for young people looking for a little night life after a hard day at the beach.
