Plage de la Garoupe, Sandy beach in Cap d'Antibes, France
The white sand beach stretches along the eastern side of Cap d'Antibes peninsula, offering views across the Bay of Angels towards Nice and the Alps.
In 1922, Cole Porter and Gerald Murphy transformed this beach by clearing seaweed, establishing it as a destination for artists and writers like Hemingway and Fitzgerald.
The beach divides into private clubs and public sections, reflecting the French Riviera tradition of combining luxury services with accessible Mediterranean coastline.
From Easter until October, visitors can choose between private beach clubs with restaurants and loungers or free public sections at both ends of the beach.
The beach faces northeast, providing gentler sun exposure compared to other French Riviera beaches, with clear waters and excellent conditions for swimming and snorkeling.
