Our opinion on the Plage de la Mirandole

Adresse of the Plage de la Mirandole : Rte de Cannes 06220 Vallauris

The Mirandole Beach in Vallauris Golfe Juan was the most media-covered French beach during the summer of 2015. It is surrounded by the property of the King of Saudi Arabia (King Fahd). He has completely privatized this public beach.

Outside of royal visits, this beach is not very crowded (there are only a handful of regulars). It is small (about 60 meters long) and not very comfortable (compared to the beaches in the city center). However, there is plenty of space! This is a big advantage in the middle of August. It is recommended to wear shoes for swimming.

On the left, a path leads to a small sandy beach that is frequented by naturists.

Access to this Mirandole Beach (also known as Vallauris Beach, Palais Beach, or Royal Cove) is quite difficult to find. Coming from Golfe-Juan, take the departmental road towards Cannes. On the expressway (with the railway on the left), travel 700 meters. On the right, there is Edith Joseph Street. Park there. Walk to the departmental road and turn left. After the Omphale residence, there are stairs on the left that lead to the beach.

Photos of the Plage de la Mirandole

Photo of Mirandole Beach in Vallauris Golfe Juan

This is one of the most publicized beaches since 2015... The beach was privatized by King Fahd during his visit in July-August 2015. On the right, you can see the elevator built for his visit.

Mirandone Beach in Vallauris Golfe-Juan

The property of the King of Saudi Arabia (it extends for about 500 meters along the coast with a port on the right side) dominates this small cove of sand and gravel. The attendance is quite low (first week of August)... you have to know the access which is hidden and the difficult parking limits the attendance?

Vallauris Beach

The main access is through the visible mouth on this photo (one passes under the property and the SNCF line through a tunnel).
