Baie des Anges, or the Bay of Angels, is a captivating coastal area situated along the French Riviera in the Mediterranean Sea. Famed for its azure waters and scenic coastal vistas, the bay stretches along the coast from Nice to Antibes. Geography lovers will admire the bay’s prominent crescent shape, flanked by the bustling city of Nice to the east and the historic commune of Antibes to the west. The ecology of Baie des Anges includes diverse marine life and lush Mediterranean vegetation. Historically, the bay's name, 'Bay of Angels', comes from the legend that it's where angels landed to watch over the region. Visitors can engage in a wide array of recreational activities such as sailing, swimming, and snorkeling, while the surrounding Promenade des Anglais offers a perfect location for cycling and leisurely strolls. Notable landmarks include the Promenade des Anglais and the Castle Hill, both providing panoramic views of the bay and its surroundings.
