Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Criques du Cap Estel (Maritime Alps) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Criques du Cap Estel (Maritime Alps) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Criques du Cap Estel for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The Eze naturist beach is more popular among boys and can be accessed from NICE via Bus 100. There are two entrances, one difficult and one easy. The difficult entrance is quicker, but requires retracing your steps from the Cap Estel stop and taking a left before the tunnel. From there, you'll need to navigate an inclined sloping wall with steps to reach the bottom, where you'll find a small beach on the right and the main beach on the left. The easier entrance is longer and requires getting off at the stop after parking St Laurent, going down to the public beach, and following the customs path to the end. There's also a source of clear water to rinse off located west of the nudist beach. Overall, it's a great beach!
