About

Experience this spot in Cannes. Great location for scuba diving, kayaking, canoeing, supping and wind surfing. Cannes is a coastal city located in the region of Alpes-Maritimes, in the south-east of France. It is situated on the French Riviera, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, and offers stunning views of the blue waters and the rugged coastline. The city is surrounded by the stunning hills of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, and features lush greenery, rocky cliffs, and pristine beaches. The area is also home to several small islands, which can be accessed by boat and offer scenic spots for a day trip or picnic. Cannes is famous for its luxurious yachts, elegant promenades, and glamorous events, such as the Cannes Film Festival. The nearby towns and villages, such as Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Mougins, and Grasse, are equally stunning and offer a glimpse of the traditional French lifestyle. The stunning scenery, sunny weather, and rich cultural heritage make Cannes a popular destination for tourists from around the world.

  • Always swim with others or tell someone your plan
  • A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users

Frequently asked questions

Is this beach safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

When is the best time to swim here?

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
