Situated just past Port Canto and before Palm Beach, this is one of two completely non-smoking beaches in the Cannes area (the other being Plage des Rochers at Cannes La Bocca).
The beach has shallow waters curving along two sandy coves - the smaller cove being Plage du Square Verdun, and this has a nautical centre where you can rent paddleboats and small sailing boats.
Happily, Bijou Beach is a handiplage beach, meaning there is ramp access and assistance available for wheelchair users. There are also disabled toilets.
Dogs are forbidden on Cannes beaches between mid-April and early September. However, on cloudy or windy days you’ll still see locals out walking their pampered pooches on the beach. Just use your discretion and always pick up after your dogs. As of the beginning of October, the beaches are free for dogs again.
In summary, Plage du Bijou is a lovely little spot. With soft sand, a gorgeous view, shallow waters, plenty of parking and good facilities, this has our vote for the best public beach in Cannes.
