Beaches to visit

Castellaras Le Vieux is perfectly placed in the heart of the South of France with a variety of beaches and promenades close by to visit.

The famous Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes is only around 11km away and offers a lovely chance to walk up and down the beach or stop to sample some of the local restaurants of ice cream vendors. The beach there is also a bustling place to sit and enjoy watching other either play games, relax or walk along the promenade.

The Promenades des Anglais in NIce is just a 30mins drive away and is another ideal place to sit & relax as you watch people walk, ride or skate up & down the promenade. This too has a lovely & lively beach to enjoy for the day.

Théoule-sur-mer is a wonderful beach to visit for the day with it’s clean beach and lovely warm waters. It has a small variety of restaurants for lunch and the usual bakers for bread & pastries. Whilst enjoying the beach there you can swim to the pontoon around 100 meters out or simple lay and watch the people or occasional train roll by as it hugs the coastline on it’s journey.

Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat is a well know and popular destination for a day visit, with it’s quaint marina, surrounded by lovely restaurants and bars with wonderful views across the bay. Lunch followed by a walk around the coastal footpath is a must in between enjoying the warm waters of the beach there.

With all these beaches, the best time to visit is either first thing in the morning when you can get a prime spot to enjoy your breakfast in the morning sun, or later on in the afternoon or early evening, when the real heat of the day is starting to fade.
