Description
Plage de la Lanterne is a unique public beach located on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France. It is the only beach in the city where dogs are allowed, making it popular with pet owners. The beach is mostly pebbly and sits near a small port and the nearby Plage du Carras, which offers accessible facilities and a lifeguard station. Although it is close to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, the beach is somewhat secluded and protected by a small hill, providing a peaceful atmosphere.
Visitors can enjoy free public showers and benches, and there are dog waste disposal stations to help keep the area clean. Fishing is also permitted at this beach. There is a small free parking area nearby, but it can fill up quickly, especially during busy times. The beach is not supervised, so swimming is at visitors' own risk.
For those using public transport, bus line 12 stops near the beach at "Carras / Promenade," making access convenient. While the beach is not specifically wheelchair accessible, its central location means most visitors can reach it easily. Overall, Plage de la Lanterne offers a relaxed, pet-friendly environment for anyone looking for a quieter beach experience in Nice.
