Plage de la Gravette

During our stay in Antibes this was our nearest beach and as a keen Snorkeler I was very glad it was . Its soft stand , was often busy in high season but never lacked space . Its known to have a stoney/rocky entrance to the sea but there is an easier access stretch in the middle. Also Sea shoes will prove invaluable . There are NO sun beds as its a public beach but mid summer a portable beach brolly each ( 15 euro's from local sellers or a shop) were widely used and essential . I went snorkelling almost every day and visibility was good or excellent . There were a range of fish , more to the right of the bay looking out . There were reports of jelly fish and I saw a few small ones , and we heard of a few casualties treated by the life guards but nothing too serious given how popular it is with all ages. Our accomadation being close meant we didn;t need to use the notorious toilet which is old school french hole in the ground type but was clean , but Im amazed its still in existence given how chic Antibes is . It just lacked a coffee / sandwich bar which were evident on the other local beaches. The water and beach were both very clean and the area safe and used in the evening by all ages.
