More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The mast clicks as the harbor light thins and the boat slips out of Antibes toward the low-lying headland of Cap d'Antibes. Wind tugs at the sheets if conditions allow; otherwise the engine purrs while the coastline slowly unrolls—cliffs, secret coves and the white roofs of grand villas visible only from the sea. You drop anchor in a sheltered bay—often the Baie des Milliardaires or around La Garoupe—where the captain offers an apéritif as the sun tilts toward the horizon.
