Nestled between Nice and Cap Ferrat, the Plage de la Marinière is a beloved public beach that arcs around the bay opposite Villefranche-sur-Mer. The beach is often described as a fine-pebble beach, but the texture underfoot feels more like sand, particularly at its far end, away from the town. Families frequent this spot for its shallow waters and easy access, making it ideal for children to build sandcastles and splash in the gentle waves. Visitors can enjoy a relaxed day by the sea, with plenty of space for sunbathing and family activities.
