Plage de l’Hippodrome

Gazing out at the shimmering expanse of Plage de l’Hippodrome, can you hear the whispers of history? This beach, nestled between Villeneuve-Loubet and the mouth of the Cagne River, stretches along the Hippodrome de la Côte d’Azur. Plage de l’Hippodrome offers more than just sun-kissed sands and sparkling waters. It whispers tales of horse races, of families enjoying the sun, and the gentle lapping of waves against the shore. Parking is readily available along the road, making Plage de l’Hippodrome easily accessible. The beach is composed of large pebbles, so remember your beach shoes. You’ll find a selection of restaurants and shops conveniently located at the eastern end of the Hippodrome. For a truly pleasant experience, head to the intersection of Boulevard Kennedy, just past the Hippodrome towards Cagnes-sur-Mer, yet still a comfortable distance from the Cagne River. Plage de l’Hippodrome is divided into sections called “epis.” During peak season, lifeguards keep watch from epi number 3 to 8. This means the beaches from the center of the Hippodrome onwards are supervised. Interestingly, the westernmost beach, bordering Villeneuve-Loubet and marked as epi number 1, welcomes dogs outside of the summer months, from June to October. This is a unique feature of Plage de l’Hippodrome, offering a welcoming space for furry friends to frolic in the sand and surf. So, whether you’re seeking a relaxing day by the sea, a thrilling horse race at the nearby Hippodrome, or a leisurely stroll with your canine companion, Plage de l’Hippodrome has something to offer everyone.
