The Sentier du Littoral of Cap Ferrat is a coastal walking trail that wraps around the peninsula and offers a changing sequence of cliffs quiet coves and bright turquoise water that stays in view for almost the entire route. The path is mostly narrow and close to the sea so you can feel the breeze and hear the waves as you walk hike or jog along the rocky edge. Some sections are smooth and easy while others are more rugged with stone steps and uneven ground that add a touch of adventure without becoming difficult. Along the way you pass small beaches hidden inlets and flat rocks where people stop to swim snorkel or rest before continuing. The water is so clear that even from the trail you can often spot fish moving near the shoreline. The route also brings you past pines agaves and low coastal vegetation that fill the air with a fresh Mediterranean scent especially in the morning. Many walkers choose to start near the port and follow the trail in a loop that eventually reveals panoramic views of Villefranche bay Monaco and the open sea. Whether you move quickly for exercise or take your time to explore side paths and swimming spots the Sentier du Littoral offers a full day of simple outdoor activity and remarkable coastal scenery in a single continuous experience.
