User reviews
"The beach is quite enjoyable, but it's best to steer clear of the left side (facing the sea) due to some jagged rocks that can cause significant pain and cuts."
Lena Marlowe
"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."
