Skip Nice and go to Cannes or Monaco. Other than walking on the Promenade in Nice, it’s a dump with a rocky beach. It gets very sketchy after 3 blocks.
Cannes has a sand beach, an amazing market, shopping, restaurants, the marina, and the Ferris wheel. Eze is a day trip. Monaco is beautiful. Take a boat ride to the islands from Cannes. |
Have heard the same (haven't been myself, and that Antibes is very...nice. |
| We stayed in Nice for a week when our first kid was almost two and used it as a base for all these places. We didn't find Nice sketchy at all? Walked all over the place< LOL. I recall a nice market, great parks, great views. |
| Yeah the park above Nice is very nice and it’s fine as a base to explore |
|
Eze beach is lovely and quiet. The fort at the top of mountain is very cool and worth a day trip.
Cannes is popular because it actually has sandy beaches. Villefranche is very picturesque, has some lovely sandy coves for lounging and swimming. You can rent boats in Villefranche and cruise the coastline. Most beaches are rocky in the south of France. |

We stayed in Antibes and took day trips to Monaco and Cannes. Antibes was amazing. There is a great little sandy beach by the old town and port, and you can take the bus to Juan-Les-Pins.
Monaco was amazing for a day and it would probably be fun to spend a night there, but I don’t think I’d need more than that there. I would feel very poor very quickly. |
There are actually an amazing amount of hidden gems in Monaco if you know where to look. |

Chèvre d’or in Eze.
If you have time, a day trip to St. Paul de Vence. It’s such a charming village. |
