Plage des Marinières

Quiet Beach

Nestled beneath the hills of Villefranche-sur-Mer, Plage des Marinières stretches for more than 700 metres along a beautiful bay of turquoise water. With its mix of sand and small pebbles, it is a lovely spot for swimming, sunbathing or watching boats sail across the bay. It is the largest beach in the town and one of the most popular in the area. Its seafront promenade, restaurants and water sports make it a lively destination, especially in summer. Easily reached from Villefranche-sur-Mer train station, it is also a convenient starting point for a walk to the old town and its colourful narrow streets.
