Top 5 Beaches in Nice & The French Riviera

Nice boasts a spectacular coastline along the Baie des Anges. The main city beaches are made of smooth pebbles, giving the water a striking turquoise color. For sandy beaches, take a short train ride to Villefranche-sur-Mer or the luxury capes of Antibes. Promenade des Anglais offers a mixture of private beach clubs where you can rent comfortable sunbeds with umbrellas and free public beaches perfect for active swimmers. Don’t forget your swim shoes!
