The coast is simple if you pick one hotel and let trains do the rest.

Stay in Nice

Beachfront hotels here usually offer better value than Cannes or Monaco, with the best rail links on the strip.

TER over taxis

Regional trains link Nice, Cannes, Antibes, and Monaco. Buy a local pass or day tickets; stations sit near the water.

Car for one day only

Useful for the Esterel’s quieter coves or villages beyond Grasse. Unnecessary — and parking-painful — in central Nice.
