Gay Nice · Beaches

The beach, made up mostly of pebbles, is split into public sections and 'private beaches; which are accessible to all and get very busy in the summer. A mat or padded roll is recommended to make the experience more comfortable. There is a long, beautiful promenade along the top of the beach wall.



Private beaches offer comfortable sun loungers, shades, towels, an at-seat bar service and usually a pretty good restaurant. Most provide decking down to the sea so customers avoid the discomfort of walking on hot rocks.

Private beaches offer more protection from pickpockets. Most hotels offer guests preferential rates with an affiliated private beach.
