Florida Beach, between Poincare and Voilier beaches, includes both a public beach and the private Florida Beach beach and restaurant. The public beach area is a small but wide beach west of the restaurant. The gradual drop-off and gravel at the water's edge make sea access among the easiest in Nice.

Hotels

Florida Beach is just one beach west of the marvellous AC Hotel Nice Marriott , a striking four-star hotel with a rooftop swimming pool.

Review

Before settling down to lunch I had a brief swim and then went back to change into dry clothes. I was a little disappointed with the large changing area which was not closed to public view. For privacy, I was relegated to changing in the WC which was uncomfortable. The whole space could use freshening up. For lunch I ordered the Caesar salad which was copious and adorned with (allegedly) free-range chicken breast. It was fine but the sauce was somewhat bland. Service was friendly.
