Party Earth Plage de la Gravette Review

The Scene

Surrounded by the medieval stone walls of Antibes' fortress, Plage de la Gravette is a small enclosed beach protected from the bustling town by the walls and from the open sea by two jetties.

Antibes, French Riviera –

Surrounded by the medieval stone walls of Antibes’ fortress, Plage de la Gravette is a small enclosed beach protected from the bustling town by the walls and from the open sea by two jetties.

Always packed in the afternoons with a mixed crowd of sunbathers and families, the beach provides a wonderful base not only for enjoying the sun, but also for exploring the nearby port with its breathtaking yachts or for strolling down Boulevard d’Auguillon to peruse the wares of local artisans.

In the early evenings, la Gravette is taken over by groups playing Frisbee or football, while later at night it turns into a hub for bohemian musicians who gather for bongo or guitar jam sessions.

Whether there to enjoy the sunset, the music, or a bottle of wine, the late crowd at Plage de la Gravette is always welcoming and ready to mingle.
