Plage des fosses, Sandy beach in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France.
Plage des Fosses is a beach in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat featuring a blend of fine sand and pebbles that slope gently into the clear Mediterranean. A concrete jetty extends into the water and provides a natural vantage point overlooking the sea.
The location marks the site of a former municipal washhouse where locals once gathered to do their laundry together. This past use shapes the character of the place today and connects it to the everyday life of the coastal community.
The beach embodies the relaxed way of life along the French Riviera, where visitors and locals gather year-round to swim and enjoy the sun. This small cove offers an intimate setting away from the busier stretches of coast nearby.
The beach is located along Avenue Claude Vignon and offers basic facilities including showers to rinse off after swimming. There are no lifeguards on duty, and no food or drink services are available on-site, so visitors should bring their own refreshments.
The waters around this beach are rich with marine life, offering excellent conditions for snorkeling and observing sea creatures beneath the surface. Visitors who explore underwater will often spot small fish, starfish, and other organisms thriving in the Mediterranean here.
