Beach description
Juan-les-Pins (main beach) is located in the south-east part of France, in the resort town of Antibes along the central boulevard Charles Guillaumon, just in 13 kilometers away from the local airport. You can get to the coast by public city transport, routes that go to the train station, which is within walking distance from the Gran Beach.
Juan Le Pen is a wide and long public beach, spread in the shade of a centuries-old pine grove. The coast offers panoramic views of the old city, the seascape and Cape Antibes. Unlike most shores of the Riviera, covered with pebbles, this part is covered in soft yellow sand. A small amount of stones is still found at the entrance to the sea, but crystal clear water with a slight azure tint allows you to view the seabed. The waves on the Grand Beach are gentle and calm, and the shore is shallow. Therefore, even for young children, this place is absolutely safe. In addition, during the summer, a rescue service works on the beach.
Over the past few years, Gran Beach has become a popular tourist destination, so during the period from April to September, vacationers fill the beach.
