Beautiful walk around the coastline. Water is very clear and in some places you can relax and swim. Bear in mind that the walk all around takes about 1.30 h. But it is overall an easy walk, with a little bit of going up and down. Bring water if you do it during hot summer days! The 150m elevation gain is manageable and the trail's easy rating makes it suitable for most fitness levels.

A must visit trail! Amazing views on the sea side! Lots of spots for taking breaks or swim! The Sentier du Littoral delivers incredible Mediterranean panoramas throughout the easy-rated hike. Multiple rocky coves and natural pools offer perfect swimming opportunities. The 150m elevation provides elevated viewpoints that showcase the stunning Alpes-Maritimes coastline at its finest.

Extremely nice place for some light trekking and swimming. It's a good alternative to not stay in the crowded beach. The easy difficulty level makes it accessible for most hikers, and the coastal path leads to several secluded swimming spots with crystal-clear water. The moderate elevation gain of 150m provides variety without being too strenuous for a relaxing day out.

Breathtaking views unfold as one walks along the path that gently hugs the nearly vertical rock formations of the Alpes-Maritimes coastline. The 150m elevation changes provide stunning panoramic vistas over the Mediterranean. This easy-rated trail offers spectacular photo opportunities, though the clifftop sections require some caution. Perfect for nature lovers seeking dramatic coastal scenery.
