Plage des Sablettes, Mediterranean beach in Menton, France
Plage des Sablettes is a beach on France's Mediterranean coast in Menton, combining fine pebbles and sand with clear water sheltered by a constructed breakwater. The cove offers easy access for swimming and water activities throughout the day.
The beach developed during the 19th century as the French Riviera became an important destination for European travelers seeking warmth and relaxation. This period shaped the infrastructure and character of the location.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience the Mediterranean lifestyle, with beach clubs offering social spaces and services throughout the warmer months.
The beach has showers, restrooms, and lockers available, and it is easy to reach on foot from Menton's train stations. Swimming conditions are best from May through October when the water is warmest.
The beach sits at France's easternmost point on the Mediterranean coast, offering views of the Italian border and the colorful buildings of Menton's Old Town. On clear days, visitors can spot the Italian hills across the water.
