LA PLAGE D'EZE

--------------

In my opinion the most beautiful one you can go to in this area. To go to this beach, go to the 'gare routière'(main bus station) and take the RCA-bus to MONACO/MENTON. It is bus 100. You will pass the port of Nice and on the 'basse Corniche' (one of the three roads to Monaco) you will pass VILLEFRANCHE SUR MER, SAINT JEAN CAP FERRAT, BEAULIEU SUR MER and EZE. Once you have passed Eze there will be a tunnel. Just after this tunnel there is a bus stop called 'Hotel Cap Estel' on the left side is a parking. You will need the next stop which is called 'SAINT LAURENT D'EZE' (let the bus driver know when you get on the bus you want to stop there). Opposite there is a car park and a small snack.Take some food and drinks with you as thyere is nothing on the beach.

Once off the bus, go down the steps and follow the path until you get to a 1st beach after the tunnel(10 min walk). Turn right across the beach and on the other side go up the steps over the rocks to a 2nd beach. This is the 100% gay beach(mostly nudist). The gays will be on the pebble beach or the rocks.

Think of taking some drinks with you because it can be very hot and there is no snackbar. From June to September a boat comes in around 3pm with cold drinks and ice-cream. THIS IS THE GOOGLE MAP OF EZE BEACH. PRESS ON THE NICE GUY TO GET IT.


LA PLAGE DE COCO BEACH & CASTEL PLAGE

----------------------

This is the only gay beach in the city. The word beach is a bit misleading since there are only big rocks to lay on. Something soft to put under your bum is therefore not a luxury.

To reach this beach it is best to take the bus because walking from the city will take you easely 30min. Take SUNBUS N°30 which you can take either at the trainstation or at the port. Get off at the bus stop called "Villa la Côte". Once off the bus look for a restaurant called "Coco Beach" (not gay by the way) and go down the steps. Follow the path towards the left, through the tunnel, nude bathing on all the rocks, gays tend to go to the furthest bit.

It is wise to take something to drink with you since the nearest snack is 10min away.

CASTEL PLAGE

------------

Of all the beaches in Nice, this is the one with the most gays. You will either find them on the private beach or at the public beach (just next to Castel Plage), that depends a bit on your budget.

The beach is to be found at the far end in the direction of the port. It is just in front of the 'Ponchettes' and the Flower Market 'Cours Saleya'.

The private beach of Castel Plage gives you an excellent service and they're used to seeing gays.There is no nude bathing here but the guys are great in their trunks and leaves a bit to your imagination!!!!



LA PLAGE DE LA BATTERIE

-----------------------

If your looking for a sandy beach this is the only one in the region. Unfortunately in summer this official nude beach is becoming more and more popular by families. So be prepared to share the beach with them and their children. To avoid this crowd and noise gays tend to go to the rocks on the left and right hand side of this beach.

To reach this beach take the road towards Cannes. After you have passed a village named "Golfe Juan" you will come to a 4-lane road. At the "Shell" station you turn right and park your car on the parking. From the car park there are stairs down that will lead you through a tunnel straight onto the beach. In summer sandwiches and cool drinks are sold on the beach.

If your looking for a quieter spot, once your on the beach go up the rocks and hit the railway tracks. Follow them towards the direction of Cannes. After the first bridge there is a way down to the sea (through the fence) or at the second bridge there is a door which will lead you to the sea and bushes.
