Plage du Crouton

Boulevard Maréchal Juin, 06160 Antibes

Plage du Crouton is a long, sandy beach stretching along the western side of Cap d'Antibes near Juan-les-Pins. Less dramatic than the rocky coves of the southern Cap, it compensates with easy access, gentle waves, and a relaxed atmosphere. The beach is popular with local families and offers a more authentic, everyday beach experience away from the luxury beach clubs.

The beach faces west toward the Golfe Juan, providing afternoon sun and lovely evening light. Several casual restaurants and snack bars line the promenade behind the beach, and the shallow, sandy bottom makes it one of the most child-friendly swimming spots on the peninsula.

Accessible by bus and with more plentiful parking than the Garoupe, Plage du Crouton is a practical choice for those who want a full day at the beach without the logistical challenges of the more remote Cap d'Antibes coves.

Conseils pratiques

  • Best for afternoon sun as it faces west. Combine a morning at the Garoupe with an afternoon here.
  • More accessible by public transport than the Garoupe, with the Envibus stopping nearby.
