The beaches, ordered from east to west, are as follows.
Plage d’Antibes-Les-Pins (bl. du Littoral). The furthest from the city center (it’s almost closer to Saint Raphael), Plage d’Antibes-les-Pins is less crowded than its sister beaches. This is particularly noticeable during the summer months, when it’s usually impossible to see any sand in Juan-les-Pins because the umbrellas are so packed together.
Plage du Pont Dulys (bl. Charles Guillaurmont). One of the most youth-centric beaches in town. It’s far enough from the city’s center to keep out the elderly and children, but not quite out of the reach for lazy teenagers.
Plage La Gallice (bl. Boudoin) The closest beach to the town, La Gallice is right next to the port, so you can watch the boats sailing in and out of the harbor. You can also get some good people watching in, since this beach is also the most crowded.
Plage Epi Hollywood (bl. Boudoin). Just out of reach of the city, this beach is where you’ll most likely find skinny dippers around 5am who’ve just been kicked out of the nearby clubs. During the day it’s pretty quiet and provides some escape from town.
Plage des Ondes (bl. Marechal Juin). In Juan-les-Pins, less sand equals lighter crowds, but it also means less comfortable sunbathing. Some of the coastline at Ondes is more like loose gravel, and no part of the beach is quite like the picturesque white sands that line the coast.
