Lido is a public beach, centrally located between Blue beach and Ruhl beach that contains Bocca Mar private beach-restaurant. The former Lido Plage private restaurant is now closed. The public beach is small but wide and contains Nice's only pontoon, the last remnant of a Belle Epoque casino that was destroyed during WWII.
Lido beach is right in front of the luxurious five-star Palais Mediterranée. It's also an easy walk from the four-star Hotel West End , the Hotel Westminister and the splendid five-star Hotel Negresco.

The Congres/Promenade bus stop is at the beach entrance where you'll find bus 12. The nearest tram stop is Jean Medecin on line 2.
Across the Promenade is Cane au Sucre, a casual snacks place. Or, you can splurge at Bocca Mar private beach and restaurant.
On the public beach, there's a portable WC in the summer. Naturally, Bocca Mar beach restaurant has all necessary facilities for its clients.
From June to September there's a lifeguard and first-aid station at Lido beach. See more about lifeguards.
Parking on the street is extremely difficult here. There is a paid underground parking at the Palais Mediterranée.
