This place is a gem! White pebble beach with extremely clear water, swimming or diving or walking on rocks, it's a perfect place to enjoy the seaside without the crowd. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The lifeguard Aniss took it to the next level. I can't swim but I'd love to swim and I told him about it before entering the sea. He was constantly checking to ensure my safety. Eventually he offered me to hold on to his lifeboat to swim around. Because he is so kind hearted that he couldn't bear to see that all my friends were swimming and I was sitting alone on a rock. Aniss is not only a responsible lifeguard, but also a great person with a kind soul! I thank him wholeheartedly for the ride! He made my trip memorable for a lifetime...

The most memorable restaurant experience of our trip. The restaurant picked us up from our boat with a rubber dinghy. We disembarked near huge red marble rocks with the waves crashing up to our thighs. There was a misting system above our table and we were kept cool throughout lunch. We sat beside the kitchen and could see the chef preparing the food. He cooked with such love in his eyes. We ordered the food and we loved it. The mussels were fresh, the clams in the vongole were juicy. Must try fresh raw serrano prawns. They were really good. We were so full, we couldn't even climb up the rubber dinghy and all of us fell in the water. Ending the day with a splash

I have been coming here for a few years and is absolutely one of my favourite places on earth. The owners are lovely. It’s stunning, the service is wonderful, food is great, beach access is easy. Why the 3 stars? I knew it’s not a cheap place but recently paid almost €300 for a day for two people. I was shocked and speechless. We didn’t go crazy, had an easy pasta lunch with some raw fish starters and a gelato in the afternoon. No bottle service, no extravagance. And most of all, you’re still in Ventimiglia and not in St Tropez. It’s definitely a premium experience when you compare with the other beaches of Menton but come on! I don’t want to leave a bad review but definitely recommend being a bit more realistic. After this experience I probably won’t return until I make the BIG bucks and would encourage others to vote with their feet and utilise the public portion of the beach which is accessible to us commoners (which this bill definitely confirmed, I am still a part of).

Anyone who visits the Spiaggetta is in for a treat! The beach, the vibe, the food and the view are unparalleled. We were fortunate enough to have my daughter’s wedding there in September 2024. From the planning all the way through the event, owners Vera and Gualtiero made the whole thing an absolute joy. The attention to detail was amazing. Our guests are still talking about it! We thank Vera and Gualtiero and can’t recommend the Spiaggetta dei Balzi Rossi enough!! Caroline GroblerTanner

Beautiful beach – for people who do not know any beautiful beaches, have too much money and get rid of it without any sense or reason. The lounger in the first row costs 60 euros per day. Per person. Is it worth it? Rather not. For 60 € there is a lounger (which is comfortable), an umbrella and a towel. That was it. The staff is courteous and very friendly, but in no way justifies the price. Oh, almost forgotten. The train runs directly above the beach (and your head).

La Spiagetta dei Balzi Rossi, nestled along the picturesque Ligurian coastline, is a true gem for beachgoers and nature lovers alike. This secluded beach offers a stunning setting, characterized by its striking red cliffs and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The unique geological formations provide a breathtaking backdrop, making it an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts.
