Située entre le vieil Antibes et le cap d'Antibes, la plage est très fréquentée en été. La proximité avec la route la rend peu accueillante pour les familles, bien qu'elle dispose d'une de baignade surveillée. Sa situation géographique peut rendre difficile le stationnement. Plusieurs activités nautiques peuvent être pratiquées telles que le kayak, ou encore le paddle, mais pas le surf.
Le système de traitement des eaux usées, le réseau d'eaux pluviales, ainsi que les établissements touristiques peuvent être des sources de dégradation de la qualité de l'eau.

Located in between the "Vieil Antibes" and "Cap d'Antibes" areas, the beach is crowded during summer. The beach is supervised, but the road nearby might be dangerous for children. It might be difficult to park in this area. You can practice kayak or SUP, but not surf.
The waste water treatment, rain water network and tourist establishments might be explanations for a bad water quality.

Monitoring Frequency

Source Information

As part of the Watermen Testers program, Surfrider Foundation Europe volunteers monitor recreational marine and freshwater quality at several sites in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The sampling season goes throughout the year, on an irregular basis depending on availability of volunteers. That is why the monitoring frequency selected is "Other" for all the beaches in the region. Priority is given to places where Watermen Testers suspect a pollution. Before (from 2014 to 2017), samples were collected bi-monthly. According to the European Directive 2006/7/CE, water quality is based on 2 bacteriological parameters: E. coli and enterococcus. Threshold between average and poor water quality :
Freshwater :
Enterococcus 660 CFU/100mL
E. coli : 1800 CFU/100mL
Marine water:
Enteroccocus : 370 CFU/100mL
E. coli: 1000 CFU/100mL

A beach is marked green if the two results (Enterococcus and E. coli) are under European thresholds.
A beach is marked red if one of the two or the two results is/are above the European threshold.
A beach is marked grey when there are no current results or there is no available information.

Special status beaches:
Due to the high frequentation of beaches during the summer and the occurrence of storms, leading to wastewater treatment plant overflows, some beaches are exposed to short term pollutions.
