Menton beach

Menton is a popular beach resort in the east of French Riviera. It is also known as Plage du Borrigo in the west, as well as Plage de Fossan in the east. The town is pretty nice, but the beach is slightly disappointing. Pebbles are large and not comfortable, while the spot is totally overcrowded. However, palmed promenade looks very scenic. Shore and seabed: pebbles, sand. [edit]

In Menton hotels, rooms' rates starts from about US$80 per night, or even from $120 if located near the sea. There are no real beachfront properties, since this is a city beach.

When to go [edit]
