Cannes

In Cannes, you find both public and private beaches. Private beaches most often belong to hotels or restaurants and often charge a cost for the sunbeds.

Lifeguards are available on all beaches, as well as shower and toilet. There is also a rich selection of restaurants either on or near the beach.

You can lie down and take it easy for a whole day, or take a brake with any of the activities- both on land and in the water.

Iles de Lerins

Off the coast of Cannes there are four islands, Iles de Lerins. The two largest islands are Sainte-Marguerite and Saint Honorat and it takes about 15 minutes by boat from La Croisette in Cannes.
