Description
Juan-les-Pins is a town in the commune of Antibes, along the French riviera between Nice and Cannes. It is a major holiday destination with beaches, nightclubs and a casino. The name comes from the Golfe-Juan (where it is located) and the local stone pine trees. There is a mix of public and heavily cordoned-off private beaches between the end of Cap d'Antibes on the eastern side to the edge of the Vallauris-Golf Juan on the western side. The main public beach is called "Grande Plage" and it includes showers and toilets.
