Plage de Carras is a beach with an endless stretch of pebbles, shells and crystal-clear turquoise waters, and it's also friendly to people with disabilities. It's located at the western end of Nice's Promenade near the airport and offers a full range of amenities and facilities for everyone.
This beach tends to be quieter than most and features fewer surrounding features like restaurants and cafes than the more populous beaches do. Still, many beachgoers here enjoy bringing a picnic lunch to have right on the beach. Whether you're sunbathing or bathing, surfing or reading, it's a serene place to spend an afternoon.
