Passable beach is located on the west coast of Cap Ferrat. Isolated from the main road, it remains relatively untouched and enjoys optimal sunshine. During the summer months, its orientation allows visitors to soak up the sun until late in the day. Made up of gravel, the beach primarily attracts families. The small pier that extends into the sea serves as a diving board for some, while others relax in an atmosphere that is both serene and lively. Please note that if you get a little hungry, you can grab a bite at the snack bar “La Cabane”, located at the end of the beach.

Azur Plénitude - October 2024

La plage de Passable est idéale pour ceux qui souhaitent prolonger leur journée au bord de l'eau jusqu'en soirée. En effet, son orientation plein Ouest lui confère un ensoleillement optimal. La zone de baignade bénéficie d'une eau calme et peu agitée. La plage est relativement animée, avec notamment la musique en provenance de l'établissement privé, ce qui ne conviendra pas aux personnes en quête de calme. Enfin, le parking de la plage est relativement grand mais vite bondé en période estivale.
