In 2023, four beaches were already equipped with this rope system: Centenaire, Ponchettes, Sainte-Hélène, and Blue Beach. A reassuring and practical initiative that is making its big comeback this summer!
Since 2022, the city of Nice has been experimenting with a rope system to facilitate exiting the water. It’s handy for people who find it difficult to climb the pebble slope. A way to ensure their safety. Building on the success of this system, it has proven its usefulness and effectiveness. As summer has just begun, this system is back on the beaches. A way to offer the pleasures and benefits of swimming in the sea for all ages.
Accessible Swimming for Everyone
This innovative system, initiated two years ago, quickly became appreciated. Allowing people of all ages and physical conditions to enjoy the sea. A response to a crucial need for accessibility and well-being on these pebble-filled beaches. Users have expressed their gratitude for this opportunity to reconnect with the simple pleasures of sea swimming.
Last year, Barbara Prot, municipal councilor and delegate for prevention and health education, emphasized the importance of this initiative. According to her, the main goal was “to bring to the water people who never go, who never take advantage of our beautiful beach.” A statement that remains relevant as the system returns for this new summer season.
