Le Voilier Plage is an endless stretch of white-pebble beach offering a gentle slope, crystal-clear turquoise waters perfect for swimming and a family-friendly atmosphere. The beach is public and offers access to a restaurant with plenty of facilities to keep things comfortable. While it is a pebble beach, the pebbles are small enough to comfortably walk on.
The beach is just about 10 minutes to the south of the city centre, an easy drive to reach. It's smaller than some other beaches in the area, but it's a quiet, clean, and welcoming beach to enjoy overall.

What to know about Le Voilier Plage
Le Voilier Plage is actually 2 beaches: a public beach and a private one. The public beach is smaller but still quite clean, comfortable and welcoming. To gain access to the luxury features, however, you'll need to pay a bit extra to access the private portion. These features include day beds and the upscale beach restaurant with the same name. It's in front of AC Hotel by Marriott Nice.
If you're a family on holiday with kids, paying for the private half may be a good idea, as they also have a dedicated colourful kids' play area. The public beach has toilets. Limited hourly parking is available along the Promenade.
