Anse de l'Argent Faux

Drop anchor at this small bay just a stone's throw from Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, making it a handy jumping-off point for exploring the whole Golfe Juan area. The name has a great backstory — legend has it that 19th-century counterfeiters used a cave here to mint fake coins, giving the cove its name, which translates to "False Money Cove." The bay has a sandy bottom and sits well-sheltered enough for a swim stop, though protection is fairly limited.
