It’s a beautiful old town. The beaches to the east of town are sandy.. The ones in town along the Promenade des Anglais tended to be more stony.

We rented a car and a studio apartment near the airport but looking out over the water (we also rented a spot in a municipal parking garage about a block from the apartment). Prices were very reasonable as long as we shopped like the locals.

The south of France and Provence in particular are beautiful places. Stay as long as you can. It costs a lot less than you think.
