User reviews
"In my humble opinion, the beach in Cap Ferrat reigns supreme. The crystalline waters and pristine sands are truly breathtaking. However, it's worth noting that the beach can get quite crowded on weekends, so it's wise to arrive early to secure one of the scarce parking spaces nearby."
Nirah Liora
"The breathtaking vista of the beach is truly awe-inspiring! The crystal-clear waters of the sea were a sight to behold, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. The beach may be petite, but it exudes an intimate and warm ambiance, with only a handful of individuals present. Moreover, the convenience of showers on the beach is a welcome amenity."
