La Garoupe Beach

Immortalized in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night, La Garoupe Beach was once the unofficial headquarters for a charmed circle of artists and writers—Scott and Zelda, Sara and Gerald Murphy, Picasso and Léger—who picnicked and swam together, swapping ideas under parasols and over sherry. Sure, that was the 1920s, but there’s still something magical about this small curve of sand surrounded by turquoise shallows and the unspoiled view of the coast and pine-shaded Cap d’Antibes. A great restaurant across the street is Le Pavillon.
