- A rocky cove reached by following the coast road east from Port Lympia; the forested hill above is Mont Boron
Past the port, follow the coast road and the tourists thin out until you reach a small cove of white limestone where the water is glass-clear. Coco Beach has no sand and no sunbeds, just rocks, concrete steps and metal ladders down into the sea, which is exactly why locals swim here. Sit on the rocks and the whole Nice shoreline stretches away to the west; at sunset the stone turns orange. If you've got legs left, climb into the Mont Boron forest park above for lookouts through the pines over both the Bay of Nice and the bay of Villefranche.
