Monte-Carlo Beach Club, Monte-Carlo

1. Monte-Carlo Beach Club

Indulge in some energising or relaxing water activities for young and old alike to enjoy at the Monte-Carlo Beach Club, at the Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel.

This beach club offers a full range of activities including parasailing, jetskiing, the flying carpet and tubing. Alongside these more well known watersports is the new phenomenon of flyboarding!

Parasailing: Aboard a platform boat, take off and fly over one of the Côte d’Azur’s most breathtaking sites. Monaco and its buildings followed by Cap Martin and its villas against an Alpine backdrop.

Jet Ski; Cruising or going at top speed? Alone or with a partner? It’s all up to you!

The Flying Carpet: It may look unusual but it is well designed for effective results. With its revolutionary shape and dimensions, it quickly becomes vertical, can jump from wave to wave, jump out of the water and make extraordinary leaps. Enjoyed at any age and in complete safety, the Flyfish is a cool family activity and fun for sporty types.

Tubing: Need we say more! Jam-packed with twists, twirls and thrills!

Flyboarding: Led by qualified instructors, this turbine-based propulsion system placed under your feet will make you fly above the water!

About Watersports in Monaco

Parasailing beneath the cliffs of Monaco; racing on a jetski around the superyachts anchored in the bay; wakeboarding beneath ‘The Rock’, the royal palace sitting high above: there are few more jaw-dropping places to indulge in a day of watersports than in the glittering principality of Monaco.

Monaco only has one public stretch of beach at Plage du Larvotto, and the Meridien Beach Plaza (also on Larvotto) is the only Monagesque hotel with private beachfront. Both the public and private stretches have watersports operators. In addition, the waterfront hotel Monte Carlo Beach Hotel has a watersports club where visitors can also rent equipment and book activities.

Whether it’s a leisurely canoe paddle along the beach or being towed behind a jetboat in a donut screaming your head off, Monaco has an abundance of watersport activities on offer. However, no-one ever said that Monaco was cheap: pack your wallet and expect to leave hefty deposits for equipment.
