The town lies to the north of the Cap d'Antibes, with its seafront facing the Baie des Anges and Nice, which is clearly visible to the east. The eastern part of the Cap offers sandy beaches known as la Garoupe, then closer to the town center, la Salis, le Ponteil, and finally la Plage de la Gravette, nestled at the foot of the ramparts. Beyond the Fort Carré, the pebble beach of the Fort extends as far as Villeneuve-Loubet. To the west of this cape, Juan-les-Pins, a seaside resort administratively attached to Antibes, offers south-facing sandy beaches and a view of the Lérins islands. This seaside district is built around the beaches and port of Golfe Juan. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibes
