Plage du Chateau beach

Plage du Chateau is a small beach to the west of Cannes in France. It is located between marina and real castle. Probably, castle is not the most beautiful in the World, but it's still great. It is possible to walk around for free. But if you want to get inside the castle, you'll have to pay for guided tour. The beach itself is also very good. Swimming is comfortable even for children. Since sea water is shallow without waves and with sandy bottom. There are few picturesque palms, as well as showers, toilet and lifeguards. There is often no free space in the car parking. So it is worth to get here by local train. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Hotel La Calanque is a property with rooms' fares starting from US$250 per night. Rooms are small, while price tag is upscale. But anyway this is a great accommodation option right near the great beach.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Nice international airport (NCE). Next get by train to Mandelieu-la-Napoule station.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday on the French Riviera is a warm period in August. Since this is the only time, when sea water is relatively warm.
