Plage Cousteau

Plage Cousteau, situated in Saint-Laurent-du-Var, Alpes-Maritimes, is a public beach in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The beach is a continuation of Plage de Landsberg, extending up to the mouth of the Var River.

The beach has undergone renovations, with a significant portion of its shoreline now covered in grey sand. There remain some areas that are pebbly, providing a variety in its natural characteristics. The beach is under supervision during the summer season, ensuring the safety of visitors.

A popular spot for kitesurfing, Plage Cousteau allows this activity, except within a 300-meter radius from April 15th to October 15th. The beach is also equipped with two volleyball courts, providing additional recreational opportunities for visitors.

While the beach is well-known for its scenic views, including the sight of planes, it is also characterized by its shallow waters. This feature makes it particularly suitable for families with children.

Despite its popularity, parking can be challenging around Plage Cousteau. There are limited spaces available along Avenue Cousteau, beneath the Cap 3000 shopping center.

The beach is conveniently located, only a short walk away from a nearby hotel. This makes it easily accessible for tourists staying in the area. However, there have been reports of an unpleasant odor at the beach.

In conclusion, Plage Cousteau is a picturesque beach with a variety of recreational activities. However, visitors should be prepared for potential parking difficulties and the occasional unpleasant odor.
