Beach description
Mala Beach is a compact, quiet pebble beach within walking distance of Cap d'Ail. You can get to beach by train (route terminal - Cap d'Ail) or by bus. However, you can't stop right at the beach, even if you come by private transport. The fact is that beach is a step descent through the picturesque rocks and pine forest. Therefore, it will be difficult for couples with small children, "heartfelt" people with disabilities to overcome this path. Such categories of tourists can take a boat taxi and get to the beach by water.
Cozy bay, on the shore of which is located Mala beach, serves as a haven for yachts and boats. Therefore, further than a meter, let the children alone in the water is not worth it. Beach itself is a mixture of small pebbles and sand: closer to the water – more the shore becomes sandy. The descent is smooth. It is safe to swim here, especially in summer on the beach beach inspectors are on duty.
Beach is not crowded even in peak season. This fact is undoubtedly a plus. By the way, this advantage is used by the "rich and famous". So do not be surprised if the neighbor on bar will be one of the James Bonds or Hollywood diva.
When is the best time to go?
It is possible to relax in France at any time of the year, the time of the trip depends more on your preferences. Summer - a great time to travel to the sea. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, even on the southern French Riviera is not hot weather. In winter , people go to ski resorts in France. It should be be mindful that in summer and winter in France there is a high season, respectively, prices soar. To enjoy the excursions, choose the time from February to April or from September to November, when both in the north and in the south it is not very crowded. If you go to the French Riviera in September, you will never lose: You will find a time when the weather is still warm and the prices are not so high.

Infrastructure
There are two bars and restaurants, where the prices are typically "riviera" on the beach. Record high price. Therefore, if you have a family vacation – it makes sense to arrange a picnic on the beach, pre-making supplies in the store away from the coast. Because the prices at local points of sale are inflated several times.
Sunbeds are rented, again by local restaurants. Prices are quite high, so if you want to save money – take a towel or a special bed for beach. Showers and toilets can be used by all vacationers. Relax in full will help the masseur, who works in a local bar.
For those who want to treat themselves culturally, it is worth visiting live music concerts, which are organized by each of the bars. Order a glass of rose wine and plate of seafood – and you will enjoy Paradise! By the way, for Russian-speaking guests, bars keep at least one Russian waiter on staff. There is no need to explain on the fingers.
Water sports facilities include catamarans and canoes. Cope with their management can even a beginner, as in the beach season, sea is calmly calm.
