Baie du Soleil Beach, Menton
A stretch of beaches situated to the west of the Port
Made up of a selection of private and public areas, with the most popular stretch being Plage de Fossan to the east.
The beaches are quite similar. All have lifeguards in July and August but if you're looking for some lunch or a snack then there is less of a choice of restaurants here.
The beaches are cleaned every morning during the summer season and at 100m intervals you will find public showers.
Plage du Borrigo: The westernmost beach here is narrow and rocky. Mainly frequented by locals, there is parking nearby and beach showers.
Plage du Casino: Also narrow and rocky, this beach is close to the Menton Casino where there is some street parking. Facilities include wheelchair access.
Plage du Marché: The rocks get smaller on the eastern end of this beach which is an extension of Plage Casino.
Plage de Fossan: This wide beach is on a curve of sand. More sheltered than the other beaches, the water is calm and shallow, making it perfect for kids. Also attractive to families is the park and kids play area on the eastern end which is also tree-shaded. Fossan is a non-smoking beach.
