Nothing quite beats value for money than lying for hours on a sandy white beach, watching the tourists and locals, frolicking in the water and soaking up the atmosphere of this wonderful city. True, the coastline along Nice is arranged in a way that each public beach is alternated with a stretch of private beach, but that shouldn't stop you enjoying yourself. In the height of the season, Nice is the Mecca of jet setting sun seekers, but the beaches are never too crowded to become unbearable.
