Carved at the foot of the cliffs between Cap-d’Ail and Monaco, the coastal path offers one of the most beautiful walks on the French Riviera. This approximately 3.5-kilometer path runs along a turquoise sea, passes at the foot of the spectacular Mala, and reveals superb panoramas of the Mediterranean.

Plage Mala

Highlight • Beach

Mala beach in Cap d'Ail is undoubtedly the most beautiful beach in this part of the Côte d'Azur. Access is relatively difficult. It can be reached either via the coastal path (access is less strenuous via Gramaglia Bay) or via the stairs next to the Eden Palace (about 100 steps, which are a bit difficult). So it's not the easiest beach with kids! But once you are on this beach, you find yourself in an extraordinary place with a large natural cliff and turquoise water.
This beach is divided into two areas. The first (next to the stairs) is made of fine sand. There are several restaurants on the edge here (they are no longer allowed to rent out deckchairs since May 2018). Opposite the huts there is the rescue station, the lifeguards and a protected area with a jellyfish protection net. The part at the right end is made of pebbles and is completely public.
