"This is a fantastic and serene spot that boasts stunning vistas of the Cote d'Azur."
Landon Matthews
"The beach is absolutely stunning and has a very characteristic feel to it. If you're in Antibes, I highly suggest taking a walk around the tip of the Cap d'Antibes that leads to the "billionaires bay." It's definitely a must-see attraction."
