About the Beaches in Antibes

If there’s one thing that the commune of Antibes-Juan les Pins does particularly well is its beaches.

As such, Antibes-Juan les Pins is a very popular beach destination, marrying the old world charm of narrow streets and medieval towers with sandy shores, clear waters, beach clubs, restaurants and watersports.
