Vallebona - all beaches

Charming small restaurant offering delectable food and a pleasant view. The dishes were fresh and homemade; I particularly enjoyed the flavorful lemon pasta with seafood. Visited for lunch in June 2016 after driving from Nice to San Remo. The parking situation was unusual, featuring an old outdoor elevator from the lot to the hotel/apartment level, followed by another somewhat rickety building elevator down to the beach/restaurant level. Quite an interesting and unique experience!

The owner's behavior was unpleasant and inhospitable, which prevented me from accessing the beach despite its low occupancy. I found the neighboring beaches to be better managed.

This beach is free to access, and even in early May, the water was warm enough for a Canadian to swim. However, the locals found it too cold. For a more comfortable experience with warmer water, it's best to visit around mid-June.

The beach offers stunning coastlines that are accompanied by amiable individuals and visitors, making it a perfect destination for families with children. Additionally, the area features a refreshing swimming pool that is sure to enhance your overall experience.

There is ample parking available and a variety of bars and restaurants to choose from at this beach. The atmosphere is pleasant, with a mix of sand and stones. The best part, in our opinion, is that dogs are permitted on the beach, which is a rarity in the area between Menton and Monaco.
