Biot beach

Biot is a wild beach in the southern suburbs of Nice, France. This is a rather mediocre beach even by the local standards. There are only pebbles ashore - without trees or any kind of vegetation. Entry into the water is not very good due to sharp stones. However, this is still an iconic spot among car travelers who prefer wild camping. The killer feature is a huge parking lot in the north side. It is free, but without asphalt. It is possible to stay in your own tent for a long time. Moreover, beach shower and toilet are available as well. If you wish, you may have some piece of luxury in La Siesta Beach Club or take the local train to Nice. Shore and seabed: pebbles. [edit]
