All beaches in Menton are free to access. More precisely, entry is free. However, additional amenities (umbrella, sunbed) require payment, or you can bring your own beach equipment. The shore is covered with either golden sand or fine pebbles. The water has the color of sky-blue azure (as expected on the French Riviera). Special underground treatment facilities help maintain the cleanliness of the sea.
Which beach in Menton is the best?
Hawai Beach (the closest to Italy) is small but extremely attractive for lovers of active sports. There are no breakwaters here, so surfers rush to catch “their” wave, which, by the way, can get quite high.
The pebble beaches des Sablettes (near the port) and du Fossan (opposite the Old Town) are perfect for family vacations with children in Menton. They are protected by breakwaters, and the shore features lifeguard stations and playgrounds. Avid divers can jump into the water from special floating pontoons.
At du Casino Beach (near the casino), all conditions are provided for visitors with limited mobility.
The westernmost du Borrigo Beach is a favorite spot for locals. While it lacks the developed infrastructure of the central beaches, there are fewer tourists and prices are much more pleasant.
