A fine sandy beach with a secure swimming area
With its large stretch of fine sand, Gravette Beach features a swimming area protected by breakwaters. The water is calm and shallow near the shore, monitored by lifeguards. The seabed alternates between sandy and rocky areas, which may not suit everyone. In summer, due to high visitor numbers, it’s best to arrive early to secure a spot by the water. For those who prefer sandy bottoms, the nearby Ponteil and Salis beaches may be a better choice.
Gravette Beach: at the foot of the ramparts of Old Antibes
Gravette Beach is the only beach in close proximity to the old town of Antibes. Surrounded by ramparts, this unique spot offers a magnificent view of the historic center, including the Grimaldi Castle tower and Notre-Dame de l’Immaculée Conception Cathedral. Ideally located, it allows visitors to enjoy the beach while being just steps away from the lively atmosphere of the old town. If you enjoy heights, you can also take a pleasant walk along the ramparts.
How to get there ?
From the old town, reach the quay of Port Vauban and walk along the ramparts until you reach the opening that allows you to pass under the walls.

Si vous séjournez au cœur de la vieille ville d'Antibes, la plage de la Gravette est un excellent choix. Au pied des remparts, vous pourrez profiter du sable fin et de la zone de baignade calme et surveillée. Cependant, la plage connaît une forte affluence en été et les fonds sont par endroits parsemés de rochers.
