Why we say this

Insider secrets & local vibes

The serene start (or finish) point for the cap's superb free sentier littoral coastal paths, with a quayside lunch waiting at the end.
Not independently verified — estimated
There's genuinely little here beyond the harbour and a few terraces, and it overlaps the wider Cap Ferrat outing — it works as a leg of that walk, not a standalone trip on patchy bus 15.

What it feels like

Reading the room, traveller by traveller

  • As a couple

    Pair a quayside lunch with a stretch of the coastal path — the village is the calm bookend, the walk is the outing.

  • Solo

    A peaceful, moneyed marina to start the sentier littoral from; bring walking shoes, not a full day's expectations.
