The Cote D Azur s 5 Best Hidden Beaches



Every year, drawn by the promise of gorgeous weather and beautiful beaches, thousands of travellers from the UK go on camping and mobile home holidays in the Cote d’Azur. Campsites are scattered all along the coast, and the beaches around Cannes and St Tropez are glamorous, fashionable…and usually very crowded! For many people, the hustle and bustle is very much part of the experience of camping in the Cote d’Azur, but some will crave a more secluded beach where they can relax in peace and quiet.

Fortunately, the area also contains many uninterrupted beaches for those who know how to find them or are willing to seek them out. So, if you tire of the crowds while camping in the Cote d’Azur, here are five hidden beaches to relax on…

Port de Crouton Plage

If you are going to the French Rivera with your family, why not find a Cote d’Azur campsite near this beach which is located in Juan-les-Pins. This beach is a real hidden gem, and a perfect place to go with children. The soft sand slopes very gently into the sea, making it safe for children, and the secluded location and beautiful surroundings make it just as enjoyable for adults!

Mala Plage

Despite being only ten minutes away from Monaco, Mala Plage is rarely crowded, perhaps due to the steep ten minute walk it takes to get there. It is almost child free, so it is a great place for couples looking to escape the crowds on their Cote d’Azur camping holidays. There is also a range of activities available on the beach, including jet skiing, snorkelling and diving.

Plage de Passable

The Plage de Passable, located in Villefranche bay, is an outstanding and peaceful place to swim and sunbathe. This sheltered pebble beach is popular with locals in the know, and if you are staying in a nearby Cote d’Azur campsite, you should trust their judgement! There is an excellent restaurant here, and the 4km Cap Ferrat hiking trail is a lovely walk that passes by the houses of the rich and famous who live in Villefranche.

Paloma Plage

In Cap Ferrat, the over-rich and over-trendy crowd gravitate towards the Paloma Beach Club, leaving the public beach relatively uncrowded. Take full advantage of their mistake, and enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches on the Cote d’Azur – gorgeous sand, turquoise water, and breathtaking views out over the bay.

Saleccia

If you really want to beat the crowds, then try escaping the Cote d’Azur altogether – the Saleccia beach is located on the nearby island of Corsica, and it is almost completely deserted and utterly beautiful. If you are camping in the Cote d’Azur you can get to Corsica by taking a car ferry from Nice or Cannes, and the trip is well worth it – this beach really is a local highlight.

Whether you are travelling with the family or as a couple, you don’t need to fight the crowds if you want to go to the beach while camping in the Cote d’Azur – if you like peace and quiet with your sun and sand, these five secluded beaches will be just right for you.
