Why it ranks
Gravette ranks as the most central public-beach choice in Old Antibes because its official address places it at Quai Henri Rambaud by Port Vauban, while the tourism office identifies it as a sandy beach reached from the harbour, shaded by the ramparts later in the day, protected from wind and swell, and equipped with a surveillance and emergency post.
