Quiet Beaches in Cannes

2 peaceful sandy beaches on the Côte d'Azur

Cannes offers golden sandy beaches — rare on the French Riviera — with warm, clear Mediterranean water. Outside the Film Festival period, both main beaches offer surprisingly tranquil relaxation with a backdrop of glamorous architecture.

Plage de la Croisette Cannes Film Festival beach

Plage de la Croisette

The glamorous sandy beach of Cannes' famous boulevard — prestigious private beach clubs, fine golden sand, and the legendary backdrop of luxury hotels that define the Côte d'Azur.

Sand: Fine golden Water: Clear, 20–24°C
Plage du Midi Cannes free municipal beach

Plage du Midi

Cannes' free municipal beach west of the Croisette — longer, quieter, and more authentically local than the famous private beaches, with the same beautiful blue Mediterranean water.

Sand: Fine golden Entry: Free
