Monaco
Small guide to Monaco
Our beautiful beach, almost in the center of Monaco.
The Larvotto is the best public beach in Monaco. Actually it's the only public beach in Monaco. But it's still pretty good. It's a man-made beach, laid in front of the pre-existing sea-front some time after the Second World War. It comprises three concrete jetties, protected by large boulders and a gravel beach.
In the last few years, the restaurants and bars at the back of the beach have grown substantially, both in size and quality, so there's pretty much something for all tastes. Most are now open all year round. The Larvotto is a nice place to go to in the winter without the crowds. It's popular with nannies and young parents as it's a great place for toddlers to run around.
The water is swimmable from late June to early September. In the summer the beach gets very busy and you've got to go early if you want to avoid the crowds.

Yes.... and no. With the right connections it used to be doable.

Haha! 
Then I guess that makes me a Flavio Briatore-loving kind of tourist. He just looks so spiffy in those blue shades.
Speaking of restaurants in the area, I love Beef bar in Fontvieille. Maybe not the best location ... or view, but definitely one of the cooler restaurants I've ever been in.

I like that you have a good sense of humor Jox.
People can say they want..... Flavio is a pretty cool type. He used to date ALL the hot women around. Credit for that.
