Surrounded by rocky outcrops of granite and shale, Escalet Beach is perfectly situated between Cape Taillat and Cape Camarat, sharing the same mythical peninsula as St Tropez. The smooth stones that sit beneath the translucent waters are a haven for marine life, the jagged inlets blanketed in dense, aromatic brush which fills the air with a sweet scent.

West of Cannes, Plage d’Abel Baliff is part of the stunning Estérel coastline, dotted with small, hidden beaches often overlooked by those sailing from Cannes to St Tropez. Azure waters lap against striking red rocks, a wild and magical sanctuary away from the lively, sandy beaches that the French Riviera is known for.

Bearing the name of Pablo Picasso’s daughter (the celebrated artist enjoyed holidaying here with his family), Paloma Beach in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is one of the Riviera’s most iconic and picturesque beach clubs. The perfect place to anchor, you’ll be ushered from boat to beach, where the restaurant serves freshly-caught fish from sea to plate from May through September.

Lined with aqua-coloured umbrellas and striped loungers that mirror the turquoise waters, the vibrant Anjuna Beach lies within a stunning bay in Èze-sur-Mer. A summer favourite amongst those flocking to the Riviera, Anjuna Beach houses a spirited restaurant inspired aesthetically by Indonesian colours and materials while offering fresh and thoughtfully-made Meditteranean fare.

A favoured spot of Monégasques locals, Plage de la Mala in Cap-D’Ail sits below craggy, steeply rising cliffs and an array of abundant greenery. The translucent waters and untamed backdrop makes this beguiling stretch feel remote and unspoiled, yet the two inviting beach clubs are just a water-taxi away to sate your hunger after a morning at sea.
