This is the shortest and most easily accessible of the Sentier Littoral walks; making it easy to fit into a quiet afternoon when you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Nice town.
The Coco-Beach restaurant was founded in 1936 by Jean-Baptiste Coco. Around 1930, JB Coco was a sponge wholesaler which he imported untreated from Greece and Italy. He would was the sponges in his shack next to the sea where his restaurant lies today. The locals would come to watch him work and he started grilling fish for them, to be washed down with rose.
At the end of the Second World War, English sailors based in Nice and American Sailors based in Villefranche sur mer came to see Coco, who made them pan bagnat, and grilled the fish he had caught. This made Coco Beach very popular and became part of Nice history.
