Plage de la Garoupe — Attraction in Grasse

Nice place which have lots of parking spaces but it depends in when you get here - we have arrived around 1330 pm and there were no any parking spaces left.

The place is very cozy meaning that it is not that wide and spacious but very private-like beach which lots of restaurants already take places of sand beaches with their own tables.

However there were public toilets and showers giving sort of refreshments after taking beach activities.

We have no car so we should use sort of taxi or Bolts but it was really not easy to catch any of them so we walked about 20 minutes to get out of the beach and could be able to catch a Bolt cap.

About a 10 min. distance by car from Old town Antibes, which recommended for the yacht-renters or owners.

3.5/5.0 very unlikely...

There was plenty of free parking (on a Tuesday afternoon in mid June) but the beach was very disappointing. The area open to the public was small, the water was churned up and had lots of seaweed. The smell wasn’t very pleasant either. There are works going on nearby too (June 2025).

Toilets are ‘hole in the ground’, small and quite dirty, making changing in them difficult.

We walked along the coast path for about 15 minutes looking for coves/rock pools to swim in but there were none - rocks very sharp and difficult to get access to the water.

Based on photos it may be that we were unlucky as the sea looks much nicer...

One of the top beach in France ? The view and beauty of the sea stresses it. And when you desire to meet the world, allow yourself to be on La Garoupe. Just view the photos to get inspired. However a great deal to be fixed is the dog's feces along the beaches and the trails. They destroy the envy to enjoy the comminion with the sea and the forest around. Instead of leaving those on the feces on the way or collecting and hanging them on the trees, it would be lovely to throw them in the allotted garbage. Then...
