Beach Clubs in Cannes

Bright blue water, fragrant forests, cool breezes, smugglers coves… Ile Sainte Marguerite may not have ice cream shops and parasols all over the place but it has far more character and hidden charms than your average beach.

The beaches nearest to the port are the busiest and the further you walk, the fewer people there are. None of the beaches are very big, so they don’t get too crowded and some require a bit of scrambling to get to which deters some of the crowds.

Access to the island is limited to boats, so there are many private yachts and dinghies bobbing about nearby; there is even a floating drinks bar that does laps of the island, just wave to the captain and he’ll bring it as close to shore as he can while you wade out to grab an ice cold can!

There are two restaurants on the island, including the seafood restaurant La Guerite, or you can always stock up at the Provencal market and take a picnic.
