Eze Beach

While the closest beach we like to St Jeannet is to be found in Cagnes-sur-Mer, one of the nicest/least crowded is the beach at Eze. This area has both parking and access challenges that keep the hordes away. The beach is on the other side of the train tracks and there is a tunnel about midway on the main avenue that will take you under the SNCF tracks and within short steps to Papaya Beach. It’s a small private beach hanging like a splinter from the edge of the terrain overlooking a narrow pebble beach. The water is typically clear and resplendent with reflected shades of Mediterranean blues. Papaya Beach serves typical beach fare with quick, attentive service at fair enough prices. If you’re looking for something more dj-infused, listen for the thumping sounds from Anjuna beach where the super yachts unload people ready to whoop it up.

look for the tunnel across the street from the seaside. It’s near an white fronted estate agents.
