Discover the new face of Les Sablettes private beaches
The current scorching heat invites us to relax by the water, sipping a cocktail before taking a dip in the deep blue..
The Petit Futé team has tested for you this new esplanade in Menton, which has just been inaugurated (mid-July) after a total makeover and more than a year of extensive work.
Ready for a visit?
On your deckchairs, ready, fire, Chillez!
Just imagine the setting: after 30 years of waiting, Menton is finally getting a new lease on life. Out with the concrete, in with the greenery! A 300-meter-long promenade has transformed the seafront into a veritable haven of freshness, completely transformed into a place where conviviality reigns supreme. Over 2,000 square meters of concrete have been replaced by wooden planks and lush vegetation.
This little corner of paradise, now dotted with trendy bars, restaurants for all budgets and private beaches, embodies the Côte d'Azur's dolce vita.
Seven new beach establishments have already found their place on the esplanade des Sablettes.
The overall look is perfectly harmonious, with a focus on orange tones, in homage to the colorful buildings of the old town.
In short, Menton is getting younger and brighter this summer.
Budget-wise, there's something for everyone, and it has to be said that, compared with some other coastal resorts, the price of deckchairs on the Côte d'Azur is very reasonable.
LES SABLETTES BEACH
Once all in white, Les Sablettes Beach is now decorated in shades of orange and terracotta. The atmosphere is elegant, and the upscale positioning is clearly visible: generous deckchair space, a covered terrace with a removable bioclimatic pergola... And refined, uncluttered Mediterranean cuisine (line-caught fish, seafood) combined with a concept of tapas to share. Here, the product is the king of your plate! A world where the simplicity of tapas meets the elegance of gastronomy.

The atmosphere at La Cabane is Caribbean, with wooden furniture, Latin rhythms and irresistible mojitos! There's plenty of room to lounge around, no need to squeeze in like sardines! The menu is delicate, with an abundant choice of oysters, grilled fish, tapas, pokés and cocktails.
True to its eco-responsible spirit, La Cabane stands out for its ecological commitment: from wooden parasols and deckchairs to engraved bamboo straws, every detail is designed to respect the environment.

In a resolutely Art Deco style, La French embodies a distinguished, young and trendy atmosphere. The very young team is highly experienced: the owners also run the Les Incompris restaurant & lounge bar on the Old Port.
With a DJ, crazy signature cocktails and a cheerful, super-dynamic team, La French Plage offers a festive ambience worthy of Saint-Tropez, but without the overpriced excesses of our friends in the Var. Every Sunday, this trendy new spot offers an exceptional brunch with a live DJ.

Welcome to La Cala Bro, a little corner of paradise where you can relax with friends. "Cala" means little beach, and "Bro" means buddies, a name that perfectly sums up the spirit of the place: an intimate space to enjoy life's simple pleasures with those you love.
This address offers a sober, refined atmosphere, perfect for those looking for a relaxed yet elegant setting. The cuisine is inspired by the owner family's Italian roots; dishes are fresh and carefully crafted.
LA PERGOLA
It claims to be the cheapest on the promenade. This is the motto of the boss who has been at the helm for over 30 years. There's no fuss here, just legendary good humor and cocktails to sip from your deckchair.
ALL'S STARS
All's Stars is an American-style bar! We come here for our delicious XXL burgers, our beers and cocktails, and our musical atmosphere. Not the sunbathing type? No problem, the establishment invites you to enjoy live sports broadcasts on screen, with a good beer in hand, in a truly convivial atmosphere. What Else?
Do you have a question about your stay in Menton?
