Why visit?<\/h3>\n\n

Located at the foot of Menton’s old town, right in the center, Plage des Sablettes is one of the most beautiful beaches on the C\u00f4te d’Azur<\/a>. The Plage des Sablettes-Est joins the Port de Menton-Garavan. It offers magnificent views of the city on one side, and the Italian border on the other. We loved this relaxing, family-friendly beach between sea, town and mountains.<\/p>\n\n
