The Nice coastline is where the southern Alps meet the Mediterranean—this geological junction creates steep coastal relief and sheltered inlets that have hosted maritime activity for centuries.

Posidonia seagrass is a protected habitat here; avoid anchoring on meadows, use reef-safe sunscreen, and follow guide instructions to minimize disturbance.
