A pebble beach to the west of Menton
At the entrance to the city, coming from Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Borrigo Beach extends at the foot of the Promenade du Soleil. It takes its name from the nearby stream whose mouth is close by. Close to amenities, it continues from the Casino Beach, forming a continuous stretch with no visible boundary. Made of pebbles, it is relatively spacious and moderately frequented. It offers more tranquility than Sablettes Beach, although the comfort is more basic.
Swimming conditions and activities from Borrigo Beach
Borrigo Beach boasts clear water with a pebbly seabed. The depth increases quickly, making it difficult to stand for long distances. In the summer, to take advantage of lifeguard supervision, it’s recommended to head to the left side of the beach. You can also secure your belongings in lockers to enjoy a worry-free swim.
Additionally, the more active visitors can have fun on the beach volleyball court on the right side of the beach or dive into the water from a floating platform.
