Promenade des Anglais, Nice
By | February 2, 2008
So, one highly recommended romantic beach is that of the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. The sand is beautiful and the swimming is great, and as well as all that, you have the fashionable boutiques to browse, or you can just sit in one of the relaxing street cafés, and watch the world go by, gazing out to sea, as you sip your coffee. You don’t even need to go into a café to have some refreshment at the beach here, as waiters will bring cocktails, snacks and even champagne to you as you laze on the beach.
The name means literally, The Promenade of the English, and this is because it was constructed in the 1820’s by the English community.
Along this famous promenade are some very chic hotels, so stay in one of these, and you don’t have far to go to the beach.
If you feel like going out to sea – try one of the tours in a glass bottomed boat, where you will see an impressive underwater world of fish and sea plants.
At the weekends, and at the height of summer, the prom becomes very popular, so much so, that like many areas where there are throngs, the street entertainers appear, and some of them are very good. Rollerbladers glide past, joggers flit by, cyclists pedal their way along, everybody is out. It’s all happening here, under the palm trees and by the Côte d’Azur, that it is just the ideal place to be in the spring and summer.
