Plage de la Salis is a popular local beach separated by the Antibes Yacht Club from Ponteil beach just to the east. It's a long stretch of beach also composed of fine, white sand and curving around a protected bay. Weekly water testing has shown Salis beach to be the most consistently clean beach in Antibes.
Unlike Ponteil, there's a sidewalk and not a tree-lined promenade running along the beach but there's no traffic noise, just the sound of wavelets lapping the shore. This is a free, public beach with lifeguards on duty from mid-June to mid-September and you can rent kayaks and paddleboards or learn to sail at the Yacht club.
It's a lovely white sand beach with great views and basic facilities but lacks a little of the atmosphere of its neighbour, Plage du Ponteil. However, the sand quality seems softer and whiter on this beach, there are fewer rocks in the water, and it seems a little easier to find a spot to lay your towel in high summer. There are free public toilets on the far side of the Sailing Club building, and open-air showers on the edge of the water.
