Taxi Cap d'Antibes: Beaches, Tirepoil Coastal Path, Garoupe Lighthouse and Hotels
Between Antibes and Juan les Pins, Cap d'Antibes is one of the most sought after spots on the French Riviera: sandy beaches, a coastal path, Belle Époque villas, views over the Alps and legendary hotels. It is also a residential peninsula with narrow roads, scarce parking and limited bus services.
To enjoy it without hassle, TAXIS OFFICIELS ANTIBES JUAN LES PINS offers a taxi to Cap d'Antibes available 24/7, from Antibes, Juan les Pins, the train stations or Nice Airport. Here are the highlights of the Cap and everything you need to know to get there.
Why take a taxi to Cap d'Antibes
Very limited parking: car parks at La Garoupe and the beaches fill up quickly on sunny days.
Infrequent public transport on parts of the Cap, especially in the evening.
One way trips made easy: the taxi drops you at the start of the coastal path and collects you at the end, with no walk back to a parked car.
Direct access to hotels and villas, luggage included, from the station or the airport.
Cap d'Antibes highlights by taxi
Garoupe beach
On the south east side of the Cap, Garoupe beach offers clear water and fine sand, with both public and private beach areas. It is also the most convenient starting point for the coastal path.
The Tirepoil coastal path
The Tirepoil path, also known as the coastal path, runs around the southern tip of the Cap for about 5 km as a loop, roughly 2 hours on foot. Its name is said to come from the sea wind that ruffles walkers' hair. Protected within a Natura 2000 site, it combines rocky stretches, steps and wild coves. It is closed in bad weather or strong wind, and a section below Villa Eilenroc underwent works in 2026: check with the tourist office before you go.
Tip: ask your driver to drop you at the start near La Garoupe and book your pick up at the end of the path. You enjoy the walk without an extra loop along the road.
Garoupe lighthouse and chapel
At the highest point of the Cap, the Garoupe plateau is home to the lighthouse and the Notre Dame de la Garoupe chapel, known for its sailors' votive offerings. On a clear day, the panorama stretches from the Baie des Anges to the peaks of the Alps.
Villa Eilenroc and its gardens
Owned by the town of Antibes, Villa Eilenroc is surrounded by remarkable gardens open to the public on certain days. Opening times vary with the season, so check before you visit.
Villa Thuret botanical garden
A scientific garden founded in the 19th century, Villa Thuret is home to thousands of plant species from around the world. A peaceful stop in the heart of the Cap, ideal before or after the beach.
La Salis and Ponteil beaches
On the Antibes side, La Salis and Ponteil beaches are popular with families for their easy access and their views of the old town ramparts and the Alps.
