Plage de Golfe Bleu

Plage de Golfe Bleu is a roughly 700-meter-long beach along the French Riviera in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, combining sand and pebbles throughout its length. Monaco rises visibly to the west on the hillside, forming a backdrop to the coastline and its varied surface composition.

Songwriter Jacques Brel stayed here and wrote several songs, including Plat Pays, commemorated by a sign at the beach entrance. His presence ties the location to the musical heritage of the French Riviera.

The western section keeps its natural feel, where visitors of all preferences gather during summer months. People use this area according to their own choices, with minimal structures or rules defining how they spend their time.

Reaching the beach requires descending stairs and passing through a tunnel from Roquebrune-Cap-Martin train station to arrive at the sand. Lifeguards are stationed here during summer months to watch over swimmers.

The beach serves as a landing zone for parachutists and hang gliders, creating an unusual mix of sky-based and ground-based activities in one location. Visitors may spot jumpers and flyers descending toward the sand while enjoying their time on the shore.
