Small beach on the west coast of Cap d'Antibes

Location

This is a small but popular public beach on the west coast of the Cap d'Antibes, to the north of Port de l'Olivette.

Named after the nearby street of Chemin des Ondes, the small beach of Les Ondes is popular with locals and offers a pleasant, if narrow, strip of fairly sheltered beach. This is the first sandy beach on this side of the Cap.

It has a concrete wall and road at its back, but has a picturesque tower sitting in the shallows, and a lovely view across the bay to the Esterel mountains and the Cannes Islands.

It has toilets and showers and a few (highly contested) paid parking spaces. You’ll find lots of locals on this beach. Take the bus or walk from Juan les Pins unless you’re planning to park here very early.
