1. La Salis Beach – Antibes

This is one of the most beautiful white sandy beaches on the coast. Beautiful views, sheltered from the wind and the sheer pleasure of stepping into cool waters after walking across the hot sand.

4. Passable beach – Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

A magnificent beach where you can enjoy the view of the harbour and the citadel of Villefranche-sur-mer. Saint Jean Cap Ferrat has always been reputed for its beauty and its dolce vita, and Passable Beach is a perfect example.

Especially since the beach is divided into two sections, one public and one private. You can choose the style that suits you best in this palm-filled bay. No matter where you prefer to soak up the sun, you will be sheltered from the wind since the cove will protect you from the sea breeze.

5. Calandre Beach – Ventimiglia

Cross the border and head to Ventimiglia, ideal for steering clear of those pesky pebbles. The small sandy beach is great for families.

On site, you will find a bar to relax with a delicious cocktail, virgin or otherwise, and there are also fresh water showers to rinse off the salt water after your dip. Far from the busy towns along the coast, it’s an ideal beach for ‘farniente’.
