Nice seaside
The seaside in Nice is an iconic and unmissable place, attracting visitors and locals alike with its unique Mediterranean charm. The famous Promenade des Anglais runs along the Baie des Anges and offers a splendid panorama, with the azure blue sea, often calm and inviting, which contrasts beautifully with the pebble beaches typical of the region.
The Promenade des Anglais
This iconic avenue, lined with palm trees and historic buildings, stretches for about 7 kilometers. Designed in the early 19th century, it is the work of British aristocrats who spent their winters in Nice to enjoy the mild climate. Today, it is a place for walking, relaxing and sports for all, with a lane reserved for bicycles, scooters and joggers.
The beaches
The beaches of Nice, although mostly pebbled, are very popular. There are private beaches with sun loungers and parasols, where you can relax while enjoying a drink or a Mediterranean dish. There are also public beaches with free access, such as the Plage de l'Opéra and the Plage du Centenaire , perfect for those who simply want to enjoy the water and the sun.
The Bay of Angels
This beautiful coastal arc is one of the reasons why Nice is so beloved. The reflection of the sun on the water creates hues ranging from turquoise to deep blue, offering a changing spectacle throughout the day. The bay is ideal for swimming and water sports, such as paddle boarding, jet skiing and sailing.
Old Nice nearby
Just a stone's throw from the sea, Old Nice with its narrow streets, colorful facades, and its flower market on Cours Saleya. It's a neighborhood where it's good to stroll, enjoy the terraces and taste local specialties like socca or pissaladière.
