Beach activities in Cannes

Beaches
Cannes is blessed with sandy beaches, although much of the stretch along bd de la Croisette is taken up by private beaches. This arrangement leaves only a small strip of free sand near the Palais des Festivals for the bathing hoi polloi; the much bigger Plage du Midi and Plage de la Bocca, west of Vieux Port, are also free.
Rates for private beaches range from €15 to €25 at the relaxed and family-friendly Plage Vegaluna (water sports available) to €34/30/38 for the blue loungers on the front row/other rows/pier of the super-stylish Z Plage, the beach of Hôtel Martinez. Book ahead.
