Liberty House selection
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat occupies a pine-covered peninsula between the bay of Villefranche and the bay of Beaulieu. It is one of the few capes on the French Riviera to have stayed almost entirely residential: no commercial seafront, no main road, and a village that amounts to a few hundred metres around its harbour.
You walk around it. The old customs path follows the shore for some ten kilometres, with a shorter loop out at Pointe Saint-Hospice, its chapel and the Fossettes cove. On the western side, the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, completed in 1912, lays out nine themed gardens above the sea.

Around the marina: the peninsula’s shops fit into two flat streets facing the boats.
The eastern point, with its chapel, its seaside cemetery and Paloma beach. The path makes a short, shaded loop here.
Facing the Villefranche roadstead: Passable beach, one of the few sandy ones on the cape, and the sunset over the bay.

Our Travel Advisor knows Cap-Ferrat inside out, with its confidential addresses, local partners and event calendar. Let's talk for a few minutes to craft your stay.
The exposed southern tip: the lighthouse, the rocks and the most dramatic stretch of the customs path.
The spine of the peninsula, lined with gated properties and pinewoods. Everything else runs down from it.
March - May
Garden season: the Ephrussi grounds and the pine avenues are at their best before the heat. The coastal path can be walked at any hour.
June - August
The cape stays residential and quiet even at the height of summer, but the beaches and the few parking spaces go early in the morning.
September - October
The best shoulder season on this stretch of coast: warm sea, empty path, low light. Days stay long into late September.
November - February
The cape empties out. Some restaurants close, but the sheltered microclimate makes winter noticeably milder than inland.
Spring
Nine gardens — Florentine, Spanish, Japanese, exotic, French — follow one another above the sea. They are at their best before June.
Summer
The music season plays out in the gardens and heritage buildings of the peninsula, in short open-air formats.
Autumn
The full circuit of the cape takes three to four hours on foot. In October the sea is still warm and the path all but empty.
The village has few shops: a proper grocery run means Beaulieu-sur-Mer or Villefranche, five minutes away by car.
Parking is the peninsula’s weak point. Beaches and trailheads fill early, and spaces are scarce and regulated.
Sections of the customs path close in heavy swell or after a storm: the notices at the access points are worth taking seriously.
