The beaches and beach clubs along the Boulevard du Midi are generally a bit less expensive and a bit more casual than the nearby La Croisette area; making them popular with locals and families. They all rent out parasols and sun loungers, as well as serving food and drinks. Most have a daily menu featuring fresh seafood.
The Midi beaches are all to the west of the Old Port and start with Plage de l’Abreuvoir, a lovely stretch of sand that curves round into a rocky peninsula.
The rocks are not only a great picnic spot but they also protect the bay, making it a calm swimming area. there are lifeguards at this beach during the peak summer months.
The beach here is fine sand, perfect for laying down your towel for the day.
Boat trips, diving, segway tours...you name it, you can do it. To the east end of the Plage du Midi you will find the ferry port for the local boat trips to the Lerins islands of Sainte-Marguerite and Saint Honorat as well as trips to Saint Tropez. Other activities in the local area include bike hire and segway tours.
This beach is a short walk from Cannes train station and the no.200 bus stops all along this seafront. You will find parking that runs along the roadside the length of the beach - this can get very during peak season.
