Nice has a 7km long beach stretching along Promenade des Anglais, with private and public parts. Note that the beach is covered by smooth pebbles, but the water is clear and very clean.
Take the time to stroll around the old town that still retains its authentic character with narrow streets and laundry hanging in the windows. Stretching along the beach and Baie des Anges, from the Vieux Port to Nice airport, is the legendary 7 miles long Promenade des Anglais. A favourite of walkers, joggers, bikers and inline skaters.
The region between Cap de Nice and Menton has over 30 diving sites. Nice Diving 14 Quai de Docks, on the harbor, is a great 5 star Padi diving centre and shop, offering a choice of dives for any level. English spoken. Very good reputation. Contact Stephane.
