Larvotto Beach, Monte Carlo, Monaco

Larvotto may be the world�s best man-made beach. Fresh white sand is constantly shipped in to replace that which the tide pilfers, for the principality that is Monaco would never let something as pesky as Mother Nature ruin its favorite beach. On top of this fresh sand lies a scene of such decadence and glamour that the ladies may go without their bikini tops, but none would be seen without their jewelry.Larvotto�s most appealing aspect is its proximity to the glitz and sparkle of Monte Carlo, where a lot of living is packed into a little land. The entire city is within walking distance from the beach, though you�ll want to change out of your bathing trunks and opt for your best James Bond tuxedo before dodging limos to get into the swanky restaurants and casinos. And, once you�re inside, people watching goes into high gear, for these people don�t just live in the fast lane, they take power-naps there too, right before hitting the clubs that never turn down the volume.
