The Gravette beach, in a little bay protected by breakwaters,is personally one of our favourite beachs. There are people but less than elsewhere, and naturally even less in the beginning or the end of the day. As the beach is very close to the apartment, one can come there for example early to a fast

- Juan-les-Pins beaches.
A succession of many sandy beaches, along 4 or 5 kms, till Golfe-Juan.. Private and public beaches.
Nevertheless you can reach them, at least the first beaches, walking or riding a bike, rather than driving your car. Because park a car during the day, and again, except early in the morning or late in the afternoon, is really similar to a feat.
So walking, or riding the bike, the most pleasant way in our opinion, is « Le chemin des Sables ». You find it in the surroundings of the “Ponteil beach”, described above. At the roundabout take the direction “Juan-les-Pins”: 20mns walking, 10 mns riding the bike.
