Castel Plage

Iconic Beachside Location

Perched directly on the pebbled shores of the Mediterranean at 8 Quai des États-Unis, Castel Plage commands breathtaking views of the Baie des Anges. Just steps from Nice's Old Town and beneath the castle hill, this private beach provides a serene escape amid the city's buzz. The Promenade des Anglais stretches nearby, blending urban elegance with seaside tranquility.

Art Deco Ambiance and Facilities

Art Deco structures frame the space, sheltering diners under elegant parasols or in the open-air restaurant. Rent deckchairs, towels, and umbrellas for all-day comfort. The beach is supervised, with beach equipment available. Linen-laid tables, modern background music, and impeccable cleanliness create a refined yet unpretentious vibe. Full bar service includes wine, beer, and cocktails.

Mediterranean Culinary Delights

The menu showcases French, Mediterranean, and Provençal flavors: tuna tartare with Asian twists, fresh seabass, octopus Niçoise, massive prawns, homemade linguine, and inventive desserts. Specialties like steak tartare and burrata salads highlight seasonal ingredients. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options abound. Meals suit lunch, dinner, late-night drinks, or casual bites.
