Baie de Beaulieu

The Presqu'ile de Saint Hospice , 40m high, forms a peninsula which extends E from the center of the E side of the Cap Ferrat promontory. It is surmounted by a chapel and a conspicuous tower Pointe Saint Hospice, located 1.2 miles NE of the Cap Ferrat Light, is the E extremity of the peninsula.
Vessels, with local knowledge, can anchor off Anse de Scaletta, a small bay, lying 0.2 mile WNW of Pointe Saint Hospice. There are depths of 6 to 13m with a bottom of muddy sand and weed, good holding ground.

• Port de Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, a small harbor, lies on the N side of the root of Presqu'ile de Saint Hospice. It is protected

by a breakwater, which extends NNW, and can accommodate small craft and yachts with drafts up to 4m.
Beaulieu-sur-Mer is situated on the coast, 1.2 miles NNW of Pointe Saint Hospice. This town may be identified by several prominent buildings.

• Port des Fourmis is very small and shallow. It is formed by two breakwaters and is used by small fishing craft and yachts. A prominent white house stands on a point located close E of the harbor.
• Port de Beaulieu is enclosed by a breakwater and its entrance is protected by a detached breakwater. This harbor has extensive facilities for small craft and yachts.

Caution: The waters off Beaulieu may sometimes be used by sea planes fighting forest fires.

Cette baie, assez largement ouverte, est surplombée par un massif montagneux au relief très élevé, avec, perché à son sommet, le village d'Eze dont le chateau se repère bien du large. L'étroit cordon de sable du rivage est coupé par la haute falaise de pierre blanches du Cap Roux tombant à pic dans la mer.
Beaulieu possède deux ports, l'un situé dans la partie W de la baie, l'autre situé au fond de la baie, à l'W du musée de Kerylos. Beaulieu sur Mer possède aussi deux belles plages: "La Petite Afrique" et la "Baie des Fourmis".
