Plage Florida & Li Rateta Club

Nice is not only a city of pebbles — it is also a city where summer can transform into a water sports and activity holiday camp directly on the Promenade des Anglais. Plage Florida, situated between two private beaches, is one of Nice's rare public beaches to host in summer a genuine children's animation structure: the 'Li Rateta' club, for children aged 6 to 12 years.

This club, supervised by professional animators and qualified instructors, offers a range of water and sports activities that delight young families: trampoline, surfing, stand-up paddle, sea kayak, windsurfing — all disciplines accessible as introductions for children who have never tried them. The atmosphere is relaxed, instructors are nurturing, and parents can relax on the beach while children progress under qualified adult supervision.

Other Plage Florida Resources

Plage Florida also has an accessible swimming area, sunbeds and parasols for hire, a snack bar and shower. The nearby Blue Beach nautical centre completes the offer with equipment rental for families wishing to be independent.

Plage Florida is accessible on foot from the Promenade des Anglais and by tram (line 2, Arenas or Magnan stations). Registrations for the Li Rateta club are done directly on-site in season. The club runs approximately from mid-June to mid-September.

Guest Reviews

Highlights: The Li Rateta club is cited as one of the finest surprises for families visiting Nice in summer — the ability to introduce children to water sports directly on the Promenade is unique. The instructors' professional supervision is appreciated. The bay's magnificent setting and beach proximity offer a complete day. Free beach access is a major asset.

Areas for improvement: The club is summer-only (mid-June to mid-September). The pebble beach can be difficult for very young children (beach mat advised). Nice's public beaches can be crowded in high season.

Overall: Plage Florida with the Li Rateta club is the most authentically Niçois summer family outing — sport, sea, sunshine and freedom on the world's most beautiful promenade.
