Maritime getaway from Beaulieu-sur-Mer
The marina at Beaulieu is not unknown. It is in fact the first port in France to obtain triple certification ISO 9001, 14001 and Port Environmental Management. With your yacht charter, you can take advantage of various services, such as provisions taken on board, water pumping, water and electricity, sanitary facilities, Internet, ship maintenance, supermarkets and restaurants.
In addition to Beaulieu Plaisance, the village also has another port called Beaulieu Fourmis or Port des Fourmis. Mooring is by bollard and the anchorage can be dangerous in an easterly wind. However, yachtsmen particularly appreciate this place, which has remained true to its fishing tradition.
The best places to visit in Beaulieu-sur-Mer
The Villa Grecque Kérylos is a place that is well worth a visit. Overlooking the Baie des Fourmis, it was built between 1902 and 1908 under the direction of the archaeologist Théodore Reinach.

It is fully furnished and decorated as it would have been in the time of Pericles, with its peristyle, frescoes and mosaics depicting mythological heroes.
After this immersion in ancient history, plunge into the gentle torpor of Beaulieu-sur-Mer by lounging on the beach of Baie des Fourmis or Petite Afrique. Sunny and lulled by a gentle and pleasant wind, these beaches are ideal for swimming and water sports. Limestone cliffs crowned with exotic plants surround this coastal setting, as a reminder of its wild beauty.
