Plage de Galets

Plage de Galets is a pebble beach along the Mediterranean coast with sections naturally divided by rocky spurs extending into the water. These rocky formations create barriers between swimming zones and give the shoreline its distinctive character.

This coastal area has served as a vital link between the medieval hilltop village of Haut-de-Cagnes and maritime activities since the 14th century. This long connection shows how central the place was to local trade and connection with the sea.

You can watch local fishermen work in the early morning hours, bringing their daily catch to nearby restaurants throughout the day. This routine shapes the character of the place and keeps the community tied to the sea.

The beach has both public areas with free access and private sections where you can rent sun loungers and parasols. Plan to find different facilities and services depending on which section you visit.

Natural stone formations called epis extend perpendicular from the shoreline, creating protected swimming zones while also serving as spots for sunbathing and fishing. These structures shape how visitors use different parts of the beach.
