Maritime Alps - all beaches

This quaint beach is simply delightful, and typically not overrun with crowds. You'll find a charming kiosk where you can purchase a quick snack, as well as a cozy bar for those looking for something a bit more substantial.

Golfe Juan boasts a lovely sandy beach with a convenient car park and marina nearby. However, it tends to get quite crowded, especially during peak season. Locals, particularly the older generation, stake their claim on prime beach real estate early in the morning and fiercely defend it. To secure a good spot, it's best to arrive early, especially in July and August. Due to Covid-19, the beach was less crowded than usual, and some of the promenade restaurants were only partially open. Keep in mind that prices can be quite steep.

The beach may be petite in size, but its beauty and tranquility are unmatched. It's a delightful spot to bask in the sun and relish in the moment. The charming promenade, which is conveniently located at the beachfront, serves as an excellent starting point for the stairs that lead up to Old Town Menton.

This sandy beach is small yet delightful, offering a lovely view. It is perfect for children, and the section nearer to the port is particularly enjoyable.

This beach is a gem, located just beside Monaco, and it's completely free to access. Unlike the pebbly beaches in Nice, this one boasts actual sand. The water is crystal clear and the sunsets are breathtaking. As an added bonus, helicopters pass overhead every five minutes.

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.
