City of Destination
There are two main things about Nice that make it so great and that’s the beaches and the landscape. However, the beaches are not the type of beaches on which you lie down and play with the sand. They are made mainly of large flat stones. Some beaches have poured some sand over these stones, to make them more attractive to tourist, but you have to pay to get access to these. Naturally, you should bring towels or mats if you want to spend time on the beaches, but you should also get some sandals, because the stones are anything but comfortable to walk on. All beaches provide free showers.
Although the beaches clearly aren’t brilliant, the water is actually fantastic to swim in. You do need to brace yourself and walk along the pebbles, but once you do, you will have a real swimming opportunity. Remember that the beach drops quickly and the tidal pull is very strong, so this isn’t an area to go playing in the water. You can actually do some sunbathing as well, so long as you are able to rearrange the stones a bit to give you some level of comfort.
If you do really want to go an lie on a beach, you may want to go to Antibes or Cannes, where the beaches are sandy. These areas are easy to reach by bus as well.
The other fantastic thing about Nice is the landscape it has to offer. If you want to see Nice in all its glory, you should take a trip to the top of Mont Boron. There is a derelict fort here, as well as a newer villa that belongs to Sir Elton John. The view from here is truly amazing. You could also take a short trip to Eze, which is a small village near Monaco. There is an awe inspiring cactus garden here, as well as a perfume factory. This is where Nietzche pondered his philosophical and psychological questions.
