Plage des Ondes, Sandy beach in Cap d'Antibes, France
Plage des Ondes is a narrow strip of sand in a sheltered cove on the western side of Cap d'Antibes, facing the Esterel mountains. The beach offers basic facilities including showers and public restrooms for visitors.
The beach takes its name from the nearby road Chemin des Ondes, which has connected the coastal area since the early development of Cap d'Antibes. The site developed naturally as a sheltered landing point for local fishing activity.
Local residents frequent this beach year-round, creating a quiet neighborhood feel far from the crowded main beaches of the French Riviera. The place remains shaped by everyday use rather than tourist activity.
The beach is reached by walking along a narrow path that can feel tight during peak seasons. Visitors should bring their own drinks and snacks, as there are no shops or restaurants nearby.
A stone tower rises from the shallow water just offshore, creating a distinctive shape against the sea and mountains. This small structure is a popular subject for photographs.
