Quay of the United States

Enjoy sunshine in southern France
The beach my friends and I went to on our first day in Nice was really close to the city centre. It's about a 20 minute walk from the Hotel Antares along Avenue Jean Médecin. The weather was warm but not humid. I still had a bit of tan but I didn't get burned. There was a water sport store beside us who were quite busy with customers wanting to go parasailing. They're called Nikaia Water Sport. It looked enjoyable so we decided to give it a go. There were four of us so we split into two groups and the price is 80 EUR for 2 people. When it was our turn, our other friends advised us to make sure we properly sit in the harness so we don't stand the whole time in the air. They do a complete loop far of the sea and dip you twice at both ends. It was a relaxing feeling overlooking Nice from the sea. #Nice #France #waterlust
Promenade des Anglais in it's evening glory.
