Why are Nice Beaches Covered with Pebbles?
This When you investigate why, you come across an interesting fact.. Actually, Nis beaches used to be sandy beaches.. However, since Nice Airport is on the beach, the sand brought by the wind from the beaches in Nice and its surroundings has started to cause problems in the landing of the planes.. In order to prevent this, the municipality took a decision on time and pebbles were poured on all the beaches around the airport.
The Most Beautiful Free Nis Beaches
These stones naturally reduce the comfort of the beach, which is mostly a public beach.. But there is a solution to this situation. The most beautiful beaches for those who will vacation in Nice start when you get away from the airport.. Most of them are free. Here are the ones I could identify.
Juan Les Pins
It is located in Juan les Pins, perhaps the most famous beach area of Nice region.. This place is located just before arriving in Cannes. It is located approximately 22 km from Nice Airport.. Here you can find a wide sandy beach and a blue flag beach.. Most of the beach is a public beach, except for sunbeds.. You can bring your towel and sunshade if you want and start enjoying the beach right away.
How to get there? I think the most practical way is train. You can check the hours on the Gare SNCF site.. You have to pay a ticket fee of approximately 4.5-5 Euros for one way.. You reach Juans le Pins from Nice train station in about half an hour.
Another alternative bus. Ligne D’Azur (İETT of Nice) line 200 runs from Nice to Cannes. 1.5 euros. However, the journey time is 2 hours.
There are also 20 Euro transit buses departing from the airport, which I definitely do not recommend.. I find it unnecessarily expensive and a tourist scam.
Antibes
My favorite beach destination around Nice is Antibes. Antibes, the address just before coming to Juan les Pins, is a very cute city where Picasso also spent his life.. It is also Europe’s largest marina.. The world’s most important superyachts are located here. There is no entrance fee to the beach in Antibes, which has a small beach hidden within the walls, opposite the marina.. The sea is usually like a sheet. Moreover, while swimming, you are swimming by looking at the houses that came out of the oil painting and inspired Picasso.
How to get there It is possible to reach here by the same routes as Juan les Pins.. You have to get off one stop earlier each time. The train fare would also be 10-20 cents cheaper.. Price does not change for other vehicles. By the way, there is free wifi service at Antibes train station.

Cannes
Although I didn’t prefer it when there were Antibes and Juan le Pins, it will go to cannes one day. If you say you will visit Cannes, the beaches are also waiting for you.. Although most of the beaches are paid here because of the luxury hotels, there are free beach areas. Moreover, do not think of free beaches as in Turkey.. The environment is quite decent at all the free beaches in and around Nice
How to get there?: Antibes and Juan les Pins alternatives are also valid for Cannes.. Only the train fare is a little bit more expensive. By the way, free wifi service is available at Cannes train station. The departure stop of the bus no.200 is just in front of the train station.
Villefranche Sur Mer
In our search for free Nice beaches, when we turn a little towards Monaco and Italy instead of Cannes, we see a very cute town next to Nice.. Actually, it’s hard for me to say that many Turkish tourists hit it hard.. Villefranche sur mer is the port of cruise tours in Nice and a hidden paradise for many tourists The beach is not sandy since this place is close to Nice, but unlike in Nice, the pebbles are quite small.. Thanks to this structure of the beach, when you lay a towel on the floor and lie down, sand does not escape, and there is no inconvenience caused by the large pebbles in Nice.. I think this is the most ideal solution for those who lay a towel on the beach and sunbathe.
While swimming in the sea, you will be enchanted by the view of the hill behind the beach on one side and the postcard-like beauty of the old city on the left.
How to get there For most Nicee beaches As is the case here, I think the most ideal solution is the train again.. After Nice comes Nice Riquier and then Villefranche sur mer.. The ticket price you pay is 1.8 Euros. You can also look at the buses passing through Ligne d’Azur’s website, but the profit you will make on the bus for this place is 0.30 cents.. Moreover, you will experience an unnecessary loss of time.. You can reach here in 5-6 minutes by train.

St Jean Cap Ferrat
During my time in Nice, St Jean Cap Ferrat managed to hide even from me. However, this is a peninsula that you come across when you go from Nice in the direction of Monaco.. But what a peninsula! A paradise with perhaps the most peaceful among Nice beaches.
20. At the turn of the century King of Belgium 2. In the following years, Beatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild, from the famous Rothschild family, built a Tuscan-style palace on this peninsula, which managed to attract the attention of the world’s wealthy with Leopold‘s purchase of property in St Jean Cap Ferrat.. As a matter of fact, this building is now open to visitors as a museum.. Charlie Chaplin, Elizabeth Taylor are the first to come to mind of the famous names who have made their home here. Today, Microsoft Co-Founder Paul Allen is among those who have a home in St Jean Cap Ferrat.. However, despite all these big uncles, most of the idyllic beaches are free, just like other Nice beaches.
How to get there ? The main reason why this place is not as busy as other regions is that it is not accessible by train.. You can only go here by bus.. Bus fares are 1.5 Euros. For this, you need to take bus 81 from the Promenade des Arts- Port de St Jean stop in the marina area of Nice.. This bus reaches St Jean Cap Ferrat in about half an hour.
