We had a great day at the beach with our dog. Our furry friend had a blast playing and swimming with other dogs. The atmosphere was very laid-back and there was ample space for all. Many pet owners were thrilled to see their furry companions enjoying the sand and water. The water was beautiful and the beach was clean. We were able to park on the boardwalk for only €3.20, which we thought was a reasonable price for all-day parking. We highly recommend this beach!

The beach offers a pleasant seaside stroll with views of both the sea and the mountains. Pebble beaches are located below, and there is a cycle path that spans over 5km without interruption. There is also a large pedestrian area, making it a great spot for walking, jogging, cycling, rollerblading, and swimming.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Plage de I'Hippodrome (Maritime Alps) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Plage de I'Hippodrome (Maritime Alps) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Plage de I'Hippodrome for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
