An exceptional place

Le Prophète beach is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. This beach offers a pleasant setting for spending time by the sea.

It is located along the Corniche Kennedy, not far from the famous Prado beaches, offering panoramic views of the sea and surrounding countryside. Enjoy a pleasant stroll along the Corniche before or after your beach day to admire the scenery and breathe in the sea air. If you want to eat after your beach outing, you can go to the Chez Marco restaurant, which overlooks the beach and serves excellent Italian cuisine.

Le Prophète beach  is easily accessible by car, bus or on foot from the town centre. It is made up of fine sand and pebbles, similar to the Plage des Catalans, and offers beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea. However, the beach is larger than Les Catalans, offering more space to relax and soak up the sun.

Le Prophète beach has showers, toilets, changing rooms and lockers to store your belongings safely. There are also kiosks and food stalls nearby where you can buy refreshments and food. The beach is popular with locals and tourists alike, especially during the summer months and on sunny days. It can get quite busy, but there’s usually plenty of space for everyone. Arriving early can help you find a comfortable spot.

As with all beaches, be sure to follow the safety instructions, particularly those concerning the supervision of children and caution in the water. The Prophète beach is usually supervised by lifeguards during the summer season.
