Larvotto Beach
Plage du Larvotto
Monaco's only public beach. It was renovated in 2021 and has a breakwater that keeps the water calm, making it good for swimming and sunbathing.
Larvotto Beach lies to the east of Monte Carlo. It is a free public beach in Monaco, with artificial sand, and a breakwater encloses calm waters. After renovation in 2021, the beach gained new walkways, green spaces and restaurants, and some sections are paid beach clubs. Lifeguards are on duty in summer, and you can swim or ride a paddleboard. There is a marine protected area beneath the water. You can walk along the seafront boulevard to the Japanese Garden, the Grimaldi Forum and the Mareterra district. July and August are very crowded, so it is best to arrive in the morning to claim a spot. There are many bus stops nearby.
