Ponteil Beach in Antibes

Ponteil Beach: Clear Water, Fine Sand, and a View of Vieil Antibes

Ponteil Beach offers a great level of comfort to its visitors. Its stretch of fine sand is perfect for enjoying the sun, while swimmers can appreciate the clarity of the water and the softness of the sandy bottom. Additionally, the shallow depth in the first few meters ensures a pleasant and safe swim.

From the beach, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the old town of Antibes and its ramparts. In the background, the peaks of the Mercantour mountains add a unique touch to the panorama. Like most beaches in Antibes, Ponteil Beach sees heavy traffic in the summer. While quite spacious, it’s recommended to arrive early to secure a prime spot. Also, note that the beach is oriented east, so the sun will no longer be directly in front of you in the afternoon.
