 Private beach on the Promenade des Anglais |
165 Promenade des Anglais Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 6000 France |
This private stretch of beach is ideal for families with young children - it even comes complete with an adventure playground and swimming pool. What's more, the deckchairs are far enough apart to give each sun seeker the privacy they need. All in all, an attractive private beach in the heart of town that should please the whole family!

Seaside activities |
Promenade des Anglais Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 6000 France |
This is arguably one of the finest private beaches to be found along the large seaside walkway that follows the shoreline, known as the Promenade des Anglais, or la Prom to locals. You can find it level with the famous Belle Epoque palace-come-hotel Négresco. Take advantage of the superb range of activities on offer, including pedalo boats, jet-skis, parasending, sea-water swimming pool, adventure playground for the kids, swimming lessons, table tennis, a pontoon... all under the watchful eye of a qualified swimming instructor/lifeguard. You'll certainly be grateful for the sun loungers as the beaches in Nice are pebbled rather than sandy. You can also enjoy great cuisine on the beach itself with an excellent menu to choose from, served on a delightful shaded terrace. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Somewhere to relax a while |
Port de Nice Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 6300 France |
If you're someone who likes quiet surroundings and moments spent in peaceful contemplation, then come for a stroll on the sea wall that leads to Nice's lighthouse. The stones take on a dazzling white appearance under the sun's rays and the light playing on the waves makes the sea glisten and sparkle with a brilliance that makes it a dancing blur before your eyes. Listen to the lapping of the water against the Pains de Savon (literally: 'blocks of soap'), the enormous stones put in place to protect the sea wall. Here, silent fishermen - sometimes snoozing - wait for the fish to bite, while other people sunbathe - except when the sea is rough when you may get showered in sea spray! This refreshingly simple walk right in the heart of the city will do your senses the power of good! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Nice's much-loved promenade |
Promenades des Anglais Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 6000 France |
A big favorite with locals and visitors alike, attracting roller-bladers, cyclists and dog owners, this much-loved promenade hugs the seashore for several kilometers. The promenade's characteristic blue chairs, scattered along the way, provide the perfect vantage point from which to take in the expanse of azure blue stretching as far as the eye can see. It took its current form in 1822, when Lewis Way, an Englishman who lived in Nice during the winter months, financed the two-meter wide path. It is free of charge to stroll, bask in the sun, and enjoy the pleasures of Nice's beaches. Review © 2007, Wcities |
