The renovation of the beaches at Juan-les-Pins, due to start in December 2023, is an ambitious project that will provide a structure for the coastline of this emblematic seaside resort on the Côte d’Azur. With a budget of between €18 and €20 million, the project aims to restore public access to a large proportion of the beaches (80%), modernise the seaside infrastructure and create a panoramic promenade offering uninterrupted views of the sea. The redevelopment includes the construction of a stone wall, monumental staircases, the planting of areas and the reduction of private beaches in favour of open spaces accessible to all. Carried out in consultation with local stakeholders and with respect for the environment, the project is due for completion in spring 2026, with the first commercial phase scheduled for summer 2025. The aim of this transformation is to boost the tourist and economic appeal of Juan-les-Pins while enhancing the long-term value of its coastline.

Work and timetable

The renovation of the beaches at Juan-les-Pins marks a major transformation of the coastline, with clear objectives: to restore 80% of the beaches to public use, modernise the seaside infrastructure and create a panoramic promenade offering uninterrupted views over the bay. The project, which will cost between €17 and €20 million, is designed to boost the resort’s tourist and economic appeal for decades to come.
The work, which is being carried out in consultation with local stakeholders and with due respect for the environment, includes the following:
- The removal of many buildings in favour of demountable, integrated structures,
- Greater accessibility for all, thanks to new facilities,
- The creation of unique green spaces and viewpoints,
- A limited impact on the summer season thanks to the interruption of work during the summer.
Full completion of the beaches and landscaping is scheduled for spring 2026, with the first commercial phase available from summer 2025. Ultimately, Juan-les-Pins will benefit from a modernised coastline that is more open, more environmentally friendly and better adapted to the expectations of residents, holidaymakers and shopkeepers.
Conclusion
Most of the beaches in Juan-les-Pins have been accessible since May 2025, despite ongoing work in some areas. Some beaches will reopen later in the season, while others will remain closed until 2026. The promenade and facilities will be handed over gradually, with a break in the work during the summer season to ensure that visitors can continue to enjoy their visit.
