Cap d'Ail, Coastal resort in French Riviera, France
Cap d'Ail extends along the Mediterranean coastline between Monaco and Nice, featuring limestone cliffs and clear water beaches at sea level.
The area transformed from a fishing settlement into a resort destination in the 1880s after the construction of the Marseille-Ventimiglia railway line.
The Mediterranean architecture of Cap d'Ail combines French Riviera elements with Italian influences, reflecting the region's cross-border heritage.
The Cap d'Ail train station operates regular services to Monaco, Nice, and other coastal destinations, with direct access to Mala Beach.
