We are staying in Nice for a week in April and wish to visit Ventimiglia. Is there a direct bus there from Nice or should we take a bus to Menton and then take the train.
Easier to take the train all the way, perhaps?

for train times, info and fares (in French).
Only takes around an hour, lots of departures per day, one-way fare from 5.90 euro.
I will investigate buses...
There is a direct Eurolines bus Nice>Ventimiglia butI don't think you'll want to leave at 0400?

Yes, take the train direct from Ventimiglia. No need to go to Menton.
Thank you for your replies. They are very helpful.
The Market. Of course. No-one makes ice cream like the Italians. No-one. Ventimiglia has a small kiosk just near the railway station where I chanced on a "semi freddo" which blew my socks off. And the funny thing was that I wasn't wearing any at the time!.
Le Calandre Beach is a small, narrow and secluded beach near Ventimiglia, about 1.5 km west of the city. It is one of the few sandy beaches in this area.
As this beach is nicely hidden behind a cliff, it is probably less crowded as the ones near the town centre.
Both the beach and the path to the beach offer great views of the neighbouring mountains. Don't expect a wide range of services here, but you will find a small bar to get some drinks, plus an outdoor shower to wash the sand off yourself.
Odds are, if you travel by train to Rome from Southern Frace you will actually pass through. Spending a few hours down by the beach is not the worst thing you can do with some extra time you might have. There are better beaches but it's a nice little stop if you've been riding for a while seeing the Sea, and now want to get out and wet your feet. Also if there is a cave-in on the train tunnels you may be forced to stop. That is how I first found this town.
