Away from the hustle and bustle of the Port, Paloma Beach is a delightful little haven with more than a touch of 1950’s Riviera glamour.

The sheltered beach gets the sun early and keeps it all day. Here you are surrounded by beautiful views of Cap d’Ail and Beaulieu, with luxury yachts bobbing in the bay and pine-covered cliffs to the east.

Beach Bars & Beachclubs in Nice

The Paloma beach club and restaurant is open daily from Easter until the end of September; their menu includes fresh grilled fish and local specialities. Given their impressive roll-call of celebrity guests we figure it must be pretty good - over the years they’ve welcomed Winston Churchill, Ivana Trump, Jack Nicholson, Roger Moore, Tom Cruise, Sean Connery, Mick Jagger, to name just a few...

It’s not just the reserve of the rich and famous though, there is a reasonably sized section of public beach as well. Even if you aren't a customer of the restaurant you can still buy ice creams and drinks from them and hire water sports equipment.
