Plage de la Gravette in Antibes is a sheltered crescent of soft sand set just below the old town walls where calm turquoise water creates an inviting place for swimming snorkeling paddleboarding and relaxed floating. The bay is protected by breakwaters so the sea stays gentle even on breezier days which makes it ideal for families and for anyone who wants long peaceful swims close to shore. The clear water reveals small fish that gather near the rocks and many visitors bring masks to explore the shallow marine life before stretching out on the warm sand. Because the beach sits beside the historic ramparts you can blend a day of sunbathing with short walks along the old stone paths or step into town for ice cream before returning for another swim. People often play beach games near the edges while others set out on paddleboards to glide across the calm surface of the bay. The setting feels compact yet lively and the combination of easy water access historic surroundings and simple outdoor activities gives Plage de la Gravette a warm and welcoming Mediterranean rhythm.
