Villefranche-sur-Mer

The beach is sandy at the start and gradually turns rocky towards the end. Additionally, the beach is easily accessible.

This stunning beach boasts crystal clear waters that are simply breathtaking. Whether you prefer relaxing on the soft sandy areas or exploring the rocky terrain, there's something for everyone. While the public toilet facilities are relatively clean, it's worth noting that there is no tissue provided. However, the free public showers dotted along the beach are a welcome relief from the heat. Additionally, there are plenty of beach shops nearby, making it easy to stock up on all your seaside essentials. All in all, this beach comes highly recommended for its natural beauty and convenient amenities.

Nestled in a breathtaking cove, this beach boasts soft, pristine sand that will leave you in awe. The charming village and towering cliffs above add to the picturesque scenery. You can refresh yourself with the fresh water showers, and while the public toilets may not be top-notch, they serve their purpose. If you arrive in the morning, you'll be able to enjoy the shade provided by the leafy trees. Accessing this paradise is a breeze, with both train and bus options available (although the bus requires a short walk down from the village). It's difficult to find fault with this idyllic spot - it truly has everything you could want in a beach getaway.

On a pleasant Friday, we visited the beach that was not overly crowded, yet still bustling with activity, especially in the sandy area. However, the other parts of the beach were partially rocky, making it a tad challenging to navigate. The water was delightfully warm in May 2022, and the clarity was impressive! Additionally, designated swimming zones provided a sense of security. Moreover, there is a lovely walking trail that extends from the train station, encircling the beach. It is a mere two stops away from Nice central, making it easily accessible.

This shoreline was a serene haven during our visit, though the gusty winds made for quite a blustery experience. Fortunately, there are ample seating options situated just above the sandy expanse, as well as a selection of ice cream and beverage vendors. For those seeking a more substantial meal, a quick five-minute stroll will lead to a variety of restaurants. Additionally, the beach is conveniently located just a brief jaunt from the nearby train station, accessible via a short descent down a set of steps.
