In my humble opinion, the beach in Cap Ferrat reigns supreme. The crystalline waters and pristine sands are truly breathtaking. However, it's worth noting that the beach can get quite crowded on weekends, so it's wise to arrive early to secure one of the scarce parking spaces nearby.

In my humble opinion, the most delightful public beach in Cap Ferrat is Fosse. While Paloma boasts stunning vistas, it can get quite crowded. Fosse, on the other hand, is a tranquil haven with crystal-clear waters that are ideal for snorkeling, especially for children. You need not worry about jellyfish lurking in the waters. Additionally, there are showers available for your convenience, but regrettably, no restrooms on the premises.

The breathtaking vista of the beach is truly awe-inspiring! The crystal-clear waters of the sea were a sight to behold, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. The beach may be petite, but it exudes an intimate and warm ambiance, with only a handful of individuals present. Moreover, the convenience of showers on the beach is a welcome amenity.
