Best destinations & anchorages from the French Riviera
Bina is perfectly scaled for the Riviera’s short, scenic legs. Glide from Saint‑Tropez to Pampelonne Bay for a swim before lunch ashore, then reposition to Cap Taillat for a sheltered afternoon. Off Cannes, the Îles de Lérins offer glassy anchorages with pine-scented shores and easy tender hops to La Guérite. Eastbound, Paloma Bay on Cap Ferrat gives clear water and classic views; Antibes’ Anse de la Garoupe provides similar appeal with quick access to the old town. Approaches to Monaco are typically a direct run; on busy days, anchoring near Cap Martin can be a quiet alternative with a short tender ride to Port Hercule. Distances are compact—often 10–25 nautical miles—keeping the focus on the day’s swims, lunches and unhurried evenings on deck.
Notable anchorages
- Pampelonne Bay (Saint‑Tropez) for beach club access
- Îles de Lérins (Cannes) for calm, scenic swims
- Paloma Bay (Cap Ferrat) for clear water and views
- Cap Taillat for turquoise shallows and a natural setting
- Anse de la Garoupe / Baie des Milliardaires (Antibes)
Beach clubs & shore highlights
Your crew times tender runs to match Riviera tempo—late lunches, sunset cocktails, and unhurried returns. In Ramatuelle, Club 55, Nikki Beach and Bagatelle set the tone on Pampelonne. Off Cannes, La Guérite on Sainte‑Marguerite pairs sea‑to‑table plates with a rocky-swim backdrop. Around Cap Ferrat and Eze, Paloma Beach and Anjuna are perennial favourites; in Monaco, Monte‑Carlo Beach Club offers a polished, resort-style pause between laps around the Principality. For culture between swims, Cannes’ Marché Forville or the Fondation Maeght in nearby Saint‑Paul de Vence add depth without long transfers. Reservations are essential in high season; your charter manager and Bina’s captain coordinate tables, tender timing and shore access.

- La Guérite (Île Sainte‑Marguerite)
