The Rade de Villefranche is very sheltered and calm, with crystal clear water, making it the perfect spot to swim, snorkel or Kayak.

There is a small beach just after the Port de la Darse, called Plage de la Darse.

The main beach is after the old town, towards St Jean Cap Ferrat. A few cafes can be found along this pretty sandy beach.

Beaulieu is also a great place to swim or to dive.

Next to the harbour is La Petite Afrique beach. One part of the beach is the private Zélos Beach,  with a restaurant and rentals of long chairs and parasols.

La Baie des Fourmisis located towards St Jean Cap Ferrat, under the gardens of the Casino. At the end is the private beach of La Calanque, with a restaurant and rental of long chairs and parasols.  Both beaches have showers and toilets.
