Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
A jewel-box bay of impossibly clear water, a tumble of ochre houses and a citadel — many people's favourite spot on the whole coast.
Not independently verified — estimatedA real sand-and-shingle beach (Plage des Marinières) right by the station, just six minutes from Nice.
Not independently verified — estimatedThere's little to 'do' beyond swim, eat and wander, so it's a half-day rather than a full one.
Not independently verified — estimatedWhat it feels like
Reading the room, traveller by traveller
As a couple
Serene, romantic and made for a swim-and-lunch afternoon in the clearest water around.
With kids
The sheltered Plage des Marinières and calm bay make the easiest family beach near Nice.
Multigenerational
Beach by the station and flat seafront make it the gentlest day-trip on the coast.
Good to know
Before you go
- Best time
- Half a day; arrive mid-morning for the beach and a waterside lunch.
- Getting there
