Krásne pláže v Antibes

Beautiful Sandy Beaches

Antibes and Juan-les-Pins feature a rare collection of natural sandy beaches along a coastline otherwise dominated by pebbles. These spots range from the sheltered cove of Plage de la Gravette, nestled beneath the medieval ramparts of the Old Town, to the wide stretches of Plage de Ponteil and Plage de la Salis. Many offer views of the French Alps and the Cap d'Antibes. These public areas provide shallow, clear waters suitable for swimming, with several locations featuring pine-shaded borders and proximity to local sailing schools.
