Beaches in Monaco
Monaco's public beach is Plage du Larvotto, a pebble and sand stretch on the eastern edge of the Principality backed by Avenue Princesse Grace. It is free to access and served by CAM lines 5 and 6, with stops at Plages, Sea Club and Larvotto along the boulevard. The beach has public showers and facilities; the shallow bay suits families.
Private beach clubs line the same stretch: Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel's Sea Club sits at the western end, while SBM's Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel, technically in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin across the French border, offers the most exclusive private beach on the Riviera, accessible by complimentary shuttle from the Hôtel de Paris or by bus from Monaco. Several smaller club concessions operate along Boulevard du Larvotto during the summer season.
