User reviews
"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."

"As I was en route to Monaco, I had the chance to pass by this coastal gem of a town. To my surprise, it exceeded my expectations and left a lasting impression. I highly suggest stopping by for a midday meal or perhaps even a leisurely stroll along the sandy shores."
