Coco beach, Rocky beach peninsula near Port of Nice, France.
Coco Beach consists of stone formations with metal ladders leading into deep Mediterranean waters and small platforms suitable for sunbathing along the pathway.
The family-owned restaurant at Coco Beach started operations in 1936 as a simple fishing shack before evolving into a Mediterranean dining establishment.
Local residents gather at this alternative swimming spot to practice slacklining between coves and engage in direct water entry from the rocks.
The beach provides basic amenities including outdoor showers and requires experienced swimmers due to immediate depth increase upon water entry.
The restaurant prepares fresh fish caught daily using traditional log fire grilling methods while displaying photographs from its early fishing shack days.

Nice offers a network of cultural venues and green spaces. The Marc Chagall Museum displays the largest public collection of his works. Parc du Mont Boron enables walks with coastal views. The Russian Orthodox Cathedral is the largest of its kind in Western Europe. Castle Hill, Promenade des Anglais and Port Lympia define the city landscape.
The French Riviera between Monaco and Saint-Tropez features a diverse architectural heritage reflecting centuries of history. Visitors can explore medieval villages such as the historic center of Grasse, known as the perfume capital since the 16th century, or Saint-Paul-de-Vence, home to the Maeght Foundation and its modern art collection. The region also has Belle Époque buildings like the Negresco Hotel in Nice, along with 20th-century architectural creations such as the Palais Bulles in Théoule-sur-Mer. Mediterranean gardens are another attraction along this coastal area. The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat has nine themed gardens with vegetation suited to the local climate. The Bastide du Roy in Antibes preserves its geometric gardens and century-old olive trees. The coastline offers several vantage points overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, notably from the Le Corbusier Promenade connecting Cap Martin to Monaco over two miles, or from coves like Coco Beach where rocks and pebbles enable swimming and marine life observation.
Nice naturally lends itself to photography. The Mediterranean light shapes the city from morning to evening, revealing in turn the ochre facades of Old Nice, the palms lining the Promenade des Anglais, or the blue domes of Saint-Nicolas Orthodox Cathedral. From the Château hilltop, at 92 meters high, the view encompasses the entire bay, while below, Place Masséna displays its geometric paving stones and red facades. The flower market at Cours Saleya, established since the 17th century, extends to Lympia Port where yellow facades reflect in the water, each neighborhood forming a different scene. The Negresco Hotel with its pink dome marks the coastline, and the Matisse Museum shares the painter's love for the light of the South. Nice offers a variety of viewpoints, making it a preferred destination for those interested in capturing the architecture, colors, and vitality of a city oriented toward the Mediterranean.
