About this place Gay Beach at Castel Plage

The public pebble beach beside Castel Plage, on the Quai des États-Unis below Castle Hill, is the stretch LGBTQ+ locals in Nice have used for decades. The private Castel Plage concession next door has paid loungers, a bar and a restaurant and is popular with the gay crowd; the free public pebbles alongside are the traditional meeting point. It is mixed and clothed — not a gay-only or naturist beach. Large pebbles and a steep shelf into deep water, so bring water shoes and a mat.

I rented two chairs at Castel Plage and it was amazing. Everyone who works there is extremely attentive. We were lucky enough to have Ben as our server and he was amazing. Not just with us but with everyone around us. Moreover, the waves that day were super intense and were hitting some chairs. Ben and the team jumped into action to help everyone out, making sure everyone was taken care of. Great experience thanks to Ben at Castel Plage!

My husband and I randomly decided to try this beach and we came back the next day because of Tibo. He is excellent and provided a memorable experience. Thank you!

Nous avons passé une excellente demi-journée au Castel Plage. Installés sur des transats, nous avons profité d’une ambiance superbe, avec une musique agréable et une vue magnifique. Côté repas, le tartare de thon Saku aux notes asiatiques était très frais et plein de saveurs, avec un bel équilibre entre finesse et fraîcheur. La salade César était quant à elle très généreuse, avec du poulet bien croustillant et une garniture abondante. Un cadre idyllique, une bonne ambiance et de très bons plats : tout ce qu’il faut pour passer un agréable moment, bronzer et bien manger. Je reviendrai avec plaisir ! ☀️🌊✨
