Best Hidden Local Nice Coastline & Secret Coves Guide
The Promenade des Anglais is famous for a reason — six kilometres of seafront, the pebble beach, the azure Mediterranean — but the real Nice coastline hides to the east and west of the promenade, in the coves and staircases and rocky outcrops that most tourists never find. This is a walk along the coast from the old port to Villefranche-sur-Mer, slipping down stone staircases to hidden beaches, swimming in water that is more turquoise than anywhere on the riviera, and ending with a sunset at a cove that belongs entirely to whoever arrives first.

Uncover the vibrant soul of this coastal city in places where locals gather, dining on authentic Niçoise dishes that remain a mystery to most travelers.
