The renovations at La Pin\u00e8de in Juan-les-Pins are almost complete and ready for launch from 1 July 2026. For beach-lovers, there\u2019s good news – the makeover will include a new municipally-managed beach with 70 sunbeds.<\/p>\n

The new Pin\u00e8de beach will complement Lut\u00e9tia Beach, which has 230 sunbeds, but which is located on the other side of Juan-les-Pins, on the way to Golfe-Juan. The Pin\u00e8de public beach is situated close to the luxury Belles Rives Hotel<\/a>, at the gateway to Cap d’Antibes.<\/p>\n

Both municipally-managed beaches will offer sunbeds, showers and changing rooms \u201cat an attractive price\u201d, according to Antibes Juan-les-Pins mayor Jean Leonetti.<\/p>\n

Higher sunbed rates\u00a0during peak season<\/h2>\n

However, prices won’t be as low as is usually expected at municipally-managed beaches.<\/p>\n

The mayor explained that “due to misuse of this public service by people reserving sunbeds and then reselling the spots, and in order to ensure better turnover, we have decided to increase the sunbed rental price during the peak season to \u20ac20 per day.\u201d<\/p>\n

High season<\/strong> refers to July and August.<\/p>\n

While municipally-run beaches are usually around half the price, private beach clubs in Juan-les-Pins charge an average of \u20ac45 per day, sometimes quite a bit more.<\/p>\n

During the ‘low season<\/strong>‘ (June and September), Antibes residents will be able use the sun-beds for the lower price of \u20ac12.<\/p>\n

And in more good news, a new half-day rate of \u20ac13 is being introduced for July and August.<\/p>\n

Renovation of La Pin\u00e8de beach and promenade above<\/h2>\n

The launch of the new beach is part of an “ambitious and virtuous” project taken on by the Antibes Juan-les-Pins municipality to “liberate” the area for pedestrians and improve the coastal landscape.<\/p>\n

Previously home to small private beaches, the area will now accommodate the spacious new public beach which launches on Monday (1 June 2026).<\/p>\n

A new promenade has been built above, where the legendary Juan-les-Pins jazz festival<\/a> is held each July. From here, visitors can enjoy breathtaking and panoramic views over the bay of Juan-les-Pins. The natural pine forest remains, and a new majestic staircase has been created for beach-goers to access the sand and the sea.<\/p>\n

Restaurant and business owners will be able to return but they will be positioned below the promenade, allowing for unspoilt views from above, according to the mayor.<\/p>\n
