2026 opening calendar for private beaches in Nice
In Nice, several private beaches on the Promenade des Anglais keep their restaurants open throughout the year. The full deployment of beach equipment — sun loungers, parasols, etc. — follows a seasonal schedule to ensure the waterfront is fully ready from the first warm days of the year.
Key establishments on the Nice waterfront in 2026
The Promenade des Anglais is home to well-established venues: Beau Rivage, Blue Beach, Castel Plage, Ruhl Plage, Le Galet and Les Canailles. Several keep their restaurants open in winter, but the full deployment of sun loungers officially begins in April 2026. The Côte d'Azur gradually comes to life from the end of March with the private beaches of Cannes on the Croisette, 35 km from Nice.
Good to know: For the Côte d'Azur private beaches in 2026, online sun lounger reservations are recommended from the April weekends onwards and throughout the high season, to secure your spot by the sea.
