Plage de la Salis is a popular local beach separated by the Antibes Yacht Club from Ponteil beach just to the east. It's a long stretch of beach also composed of fine, white sand and curving around a protected bay. Weekly water testing has shown Salis beach to be the most consistently clean beach in Antibes.

Unlike Ponteil, there's a sidewalk and not a tree-lined promenade running along the beach but there's no traffic noise, just the sound of wavelets lapping the shore. This is a free, public beach with lifeguards on duty from mid-June to mid-September and you can rent kayaks and paddleboards or learn to sail at the Yacht club.
