There are no real wide sandy beaches, but many coves with a narrow beach section with kiosks or restaurants where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas for about 20-30 euros per day. There are also free sections, but they do not have sunbeds or umbrellas and are very crowded.
The food in the restaurant is reasonably priced, with pizza and pasta costing about 10-15 euros, in my opinion.
It's not far to France either. In 30 minutes, you can reach the Côte d’Azur.
