ANTIBES
where you can truly relax!
The beach at Vieil Antibes and Port Vauban: Plage de La Gravette
The Old Antibes beach which small, sandy, pleasant (but can be crowded), faces west into the sun. What is particularly nice about the beach is that it is sheltered from waves by a small breakwater and this enclosure makes it particularly safe for children.
Antibes Plage du Ponteil and Plage de La Salis
The Plage du Ponteil and Le Salis beach is another 1.5 km further on - good, very big and crowded in the very height of season.
Here's the best place nearby to buy beach toys, swim rings and air mats
Plage du Ponteil: the bay has breakwaters so the water is very safe.
The Salis Plage looking towards the town
The Salis Plage looking towards Cap D'Antibes with the lighthouse on the right. This is at the height of mid-August.
Normally there's much more space than in the August photograph!
Juan Les Pins
Juan les Pins is on the opposite side of the peninsular and the beach there is huge and popular and faces into the hot Sirocco wind. There are lots of placesHere selling beach toys
Juan in the height of August
Photos taken with a horrible Mustek digitak camera!
Juan slightly later in the month.
Please email the webmaster if you are looking for holiday accommodation near these beaches or perhaps a place to buy to experience the Riviera sunshine. However, we would not produce a website about merely ordinary places and beaches . . . :-)Just imagine surveying this view towards Nice at Easter
