Nice's waters, in practice

The Baie des Anges, wide open to the south, with quickly shelving depths and the Villefranche roadstead as nearby shelter. Wind-wise: easterly to south-easterly sea breezes in summer, and more serious easterly blows in the shoulder seasons.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: Port Lympia, Nice’s historic harbour below Castle Hill. The local classics: the Villefranche roadstead, the loop around Cap Ferrat, Beaulieu and, westward, the long curve of the Promenade seen from the sea. High season: from June to September, with August booking out weeks ahead.
