Resorts
Nice has dozens of hotels, situated right on the beach, so there’s a spot for every budget. Most hotels boast private beach access, so you won’t need to pay up to snag your spot on the sand. Hotels range from $150 to $500 a night and many offer spa packages included in the price.
Food
You’ll find a variety of French cuisine on Nice’s beaches. You’ll never feel hungry with plates of seafood pasta and escargot. Sink your teeth into soca-soca, a fried chickpea pancake that’s crispy around the edges. Sip a glass of sparkling wine — the perfect complement to any meal.
Activities
Take the train to nearby Cannes, home of the annual Cannes Film Festival, and check out the luxury yachts. Or, rent a yacht of your own for a day. Stroll along the boardwalk, and stop in at one of the area’s high-end boutiques for souvenirs to impress your friends and family.
