Paloma beach, Mediterranean beach in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France.
Paloma beach is a Mediterranean shoreline with a mix of sand, gravel, and small pebbles stretching about 150 meters along the coast. Steep cliffs surround the bay, creating a natural backdrop to the Beaulieu-sur-Mer waters.
The beach was established in 1948 and named after Paloma, the daughter of artist Pablo Picasso. The artist's family was a frequent presence at this Mediterranean location during that era.
The beach restaurant reflects how locals enjoy Mediterranean meals in a relaxed setting throughout the season. Visitors experience an open dining culture where lunch guests and evening crowds naturally flow through the space from spring into autumn.
Visitors can rent sunbeds and use a shuttle service running from Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat town to reach the beach. Swimming is most comfortable during calmer weather when the surrounding hills provide natural wind protection.
The cove is shielded from strong winds by pine-covered hills, allowing calm waters and gentle waves to persist throughout the year. This natural wind barrier distinguishes the location from other Riviera beaches where rougher conditions are more common.
