The beach is absolutely breathtaking! The crystal-clear water boasts a mesmerizing array of blue hues that are truly a sight to behold. With each passing moment, you'll discover new shades and tones that will leave you in awe of the natural beauty that surrounds you.

6 Pleasant

The beach is relatively peaceful and open to the public, but there is a noticeable amount of dried seaweed that can be difficult to remove once it sticks to you. Additionally, there are some sizable pebbles near the water's edge that make walking uncomfortable. However, the water is crystal clear and ideal for snorkeling. It's important to note that the beach also features light pebbles.

What a wonderful find! Our initial plan was to visit the renowned Paloma beach in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, but it turned out to be incredibly crowded. So, we opted to venture along the path and stumbled upon this stunning beach on the opposite side, which was blissfully deserted! The azure sea was just as picturesque as the other side, and we couldn't be happier with our discovery. 😁🏖
