  • The beach! It's hard to avoid this activity--just make sure your physique and your tan are up to it if you're going to try for the most glamourous locations. Here's the beach in Cannes in front of the Croisette.

    Beach: Go parasailing
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is a great way to get a bird's eye view of the Med and the coastline. Just make sure you select professionals to take you. We sat on the beach and watched one couple get dragged behind the boat for a while. It looked painful.

    Beach: Go to the beach. The beaches...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Go to the beach. The beaches are composed of small to medium flat rounded stones. I still liked it. I thought it was worth to pay to use a private section and rent a beach chair. That made it tolerable. If you like the sand however, the cote d'azur may not be right for you. When you go to the beach, take some sandals or swimshoes to protect your feet as you go into the water. Take with you all the sun protection and burn medication from home to avoid paying tourist prices. I hear it is busy in the summer but right the end of August it is still warm, sunny and nice.

  • Tip Rating:
  • You must also spend some time on the famous Nice beach. It is set on a beautiful bay and is walking distance from the old city. But it lives up to its reputation for being rocky. Wear sturdy shoes or join the chorus of people chanting 'ouch' as they walk carefully down the beach.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Go for a swim in the Mediterranean Sea.
    I went to the beach to soak in the sun on a warm day in September. It was busy with tourists playing volleyball and enjoying the weather. Because of the rocks, you might want to wear those swim shoes. Regular sandals are too heavy to swim with, but you definitely need something to protect your feet from the rocks. When you get in the water, your feet sink into the rocks and it's hard to stand up straight--or at all! But any trouble I had getting to the sea was worth it when I felt the cool, invigorating water. I wanted to stay in for hours. But, alas, I was alone and too paranoid about leaving my stuff unattended. Strange as it may sound, this is one of my favorite memories from my trip to Europe. A peaceful, refreshing swim in the Mediterranean Sea was magical.

    Beach: Go to the beach!
  • Tip Rating:
  • I was expecting to stroll along the fine, soft sand and gaze at the beautiful blues and aquas of the Mediterranean Sea. Well, when I showed up to see the sunset, I saw that there is no sand. The entire beach is rocks! And not itty-bitty pebbles that you can walk over barefoot. We're talking big old rocks like you'd find in a driveway! Most of them are round or have smooth edges, but they make for a bumpy place to relax. You probably want to buy a beach mat if you plan to sit for a long time. Once you get over the fact it's not your typical beach, it's easy to appreciate that you don't go home with fine sand in everything you own! This is a picture looking up at the castle ('Le Chateau') on the hill. As I took this picture, I was sitting on the beach, looking at salmon-colored homes with bright green and blue shutters, listening to waves gently rake the rocks over each other. Wonderful!
