Sainte-Helene public beach lies just in front of the Radisson Blu hotel and directly east of Regence Plage, the private beach. It's between Aubrey Lecompte and Fabron public beaches.
The public portion is relatively small as Regence plage takes up some space. Nevertheless it's right next to a bus stop and there are some eating options, which is convenient.
The Radisson Blu is across the street and has a lovely rooftop terrace with a swimming pool.
The Sainte Helene stop is on the Promenade at the beach entrance where you'll find bus 12. Tram stop Sainte Helene on line 2 is only steps away. See more on buses in Nice.
You can lunch at Regence Plage of course or pick up drinks, bread, snacks and sandwich material across the street at the Elf service station. On the other side of the service station on ave de la Californie, Chez Vero is a small café and there's Express, a small supermarket.
There's no WC on the beach but there is a toilet in the Elf service station across the street. Sainte Helene is one of four beaches where ropes are installed up to the water's edge, making it easy to get out of the water and across the galets.
There's limited free parking available on the Promenade des Anglais and paid, underground parking available at the Radisson Blu hotel across the street.
There are no particular safety issues with this beach and there is a lifeguard on duty daily from mid-June to mid-September. See more about beaches with lifeguards.
