We spent the day in Antibes - one of my favorite towns on the Riviera. Antibes is not too big and not too small; the seaside is wonderful with lots of public beaches and plenty of private beaches with easy access to parking and nice beach front dining. (You should check out the newly refurbished Royal Plage restaurant and beach club). I think that Antibes is much cleaner and more upscale than Nice and generally very safe and family friendly. Keep in mind that the traffic this time of year is very heavy. You should allow for lots of extra travel time and much patience.
The old town of Antibes is wonderfully charming with narrow streets and little alleys -most lined with great shops and restaurants. The yacht harbor is world renowned with many of the planet's super-rich coming here to park their mega-yachts. Many ports in the region cannot handle yachts over 50 meters, which is a "Nice" problem to have.
