Plage de la Petite Afrique, Mediterranean beach in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, France.

Plage de la Petite Afrique is a pebble beach at the eastern end of Beaulieu-sur-Mer, on the French Riviera between Nice and Monaco. The cove lies below the cliffs of the Cap Ferrat peninsula, and the beach is made of small, light-coloured stones rather than sand. The site is about 700 km from Paris, on the Mediterranean coast.

The beach became a popular destination on the French Riviera in the late 1800s when tourism started expanding across the region. Its appeal grew as railway connections brought wealthy visitors from across Europe to the area.

The beach sits in Beaulieu-sur-Mer on the French Riviera, about 700 km from Paris, on the country's eastern coast. The local climate is mild, with an average of 17 °C and July averages around 26 °C, while February averages about 10 °C. Rain is frequent, with August among the drier months.

The beach has showers, restrooms, and lifeguard coverage during the main season, with parking available nearby for visitors. Swimming conditions are best from late spring through early fall when water temperatures are warmest.

The beach sits at the foot of the cliffs below the Villa Kérylos, a Greek-style villa built between 1902 and 1908 by archaeologist Théodore Reinach and now a museum. Bathers look up at its colonnade from the pebbles, and the coastal path to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat passes above the cove.
