Plage Pointe des Douaniers, located in the Alpes-Maritimes region of PACA in Cap-d'Ail, is a small, picturesque pebble beach known for its scenic views and dog-friendly policy. This beach is nestled along the beautiful coastline of Cap-d'Ail and offers a breathtaking view of the Douaniers trail. Its unique location behind a restaurant and its narrow width of only a few meters add to its charm.
Accessing the beach is quite straightforward. Visitors can park their vehicles at the Douaniers Point parking lot, although the space available is limited. As an alternative, a larger parking lot can be found on Avenue du Docteur Onimus. From the parking areas, a small square directly on the left leads the way down to the beach.
The beach also offers several amenities to its visitors. Toilets and showers are available, conveniently situated on the opposite side of the beach, near the second beach on the point.
The path to Plage Pointe des Douaniers is a significant attraction in itself. It offers a splendid seaside stroll, basking in the warm sunshine, making it perfect for walking, photography, and other recreational activities. This path also leads to the marina of Cap D'Ail, passing by Marquet beach along the way.
Despite its beauty and charm, visitors should be mindful that the beach can sometimes be polluted due to human activity. However, the beach remains a popular destination, attracting both locals and tourists alike. It is important to note that due to its size and popularity, the beach can get crowded, especially during peak seasons.
