Plage de la Gravette is perhaps the most beautiful of the Antibes public beaches, discreetly tucked away behind the ramparts at the end of the port. With fine, white gravel and luminescent water, this idyllic beach attracts a loyal crowd of locals that just wouldn't be seen at any other beach.
Because it’s a public beach, there isn’t much at Gravette in the way of the facilities that you’ll find elsewhere at the glamorous private beach clubs. There are fresh water showers by the water’s edge and outside the beach you’ll find public toilets built into the ramparts wall.
Be aware that the council locks the gates to the beach at night, around 20:00 and opens them again in the morning.
Gravette is less than a five-minute walk from the fantastic Provençal market, which sells perfect picnic basket fodder: giant wheels of cheese, olives, cured meats and fresh bread.
After several years of pollution problems, there's been a clear improvement in the water quality here.
