Yachting:
Within eye sight of your terrace, hire a luxury yacht with skipper (or small motor boat) at the Port Gallice. It’s a great thing to do especially if you have guests and or children. A cruise down to St Tropez or the other direction to Ville Franche sur Mer are favourites, with beautiful locations to stop and swim or pull in for lunch. On return it’s nice to arrive and have a last drink on the boat overlooking the marina , beach, sea and beautiful villa's on shore (including Valentino's), then a walk to the beach to soak up the last afternoon sun. In the summer firework season, take the yacht out at night to the bay at Cannes, Juan Les Pins or Golf Juan and watch the fireworks from shore while sipping champagne. For those keener yachtsmen, go to Corsica for a few days and visit this beautiful Island region.

Children's activities:
Our children enjoy the area and have gained their scuba diving certificate with a proficient diving school on the cap. Lots of swimming at the beach of Port Gallice which also has a small convenient café to take a beach lunch, ice cream or cold drink. Water Skiing is available at the local Belle Rives hotel (2 minutes away) offering lessons with trained staff. We have relaxed with a drink on the beach terrace watching the children enjoy their lessons on the bay. They both like to fish off the marina’s wharf and also do some roller skating on the promenade. Family tennis and golf has been fun with facilities close by, neither requiring membership or a card and all in an informal setting. These clay tennis courts are on the cap and a 15 min walk away. Golf at Biot is a 10 min drive. The Juan Les Pins and Antibes markets are popular with our children and nice to walk at dusk before dinner. The Antibe movie theatre has a mix of version original and french speaking movies.
