Cannes is more than just red carpets and film stars — it’s the ultimate summer destination on the French Riviera. With its sunny beaches, charming streets, lively atmosphere, and breathtaking sea views, it's the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing holiday with family or friends.

Here’s our local guide to help you make the most of your summer holidays in Cannes — all by foot, just like a true Cannois.

1. Walk the Famous Croisette

The iconic Boulevard de la Croisette is a must-do in Cannes. Stroll along the palm-lined promenade, soak up the Mediterranean sun, browse the designer boutiques, or simply enjoy a coffee with sea views. Everything is within walking distance — and the vibe is unbeatable.

2. Relax on the Best Beaches in Cannes

Whether you prefer private beach clubs like Plage du Martinez or public beaches such as Plage Macé or Plage du Midi, you’ll find your perfect spot to sunbathe, swim, or unwind. Early mornings or golden-hour dips are especially magical.

3. Get Active with Watersports

If you’re craving adventure, Cannes has plenty of watersports to choose from: jet ski, parasailing, paddleboarding, or a boat ride. It’s a fun and refreshing way to enjoy the coast.

4. Take a Boat to the Lérins Islands

Just a short boat ride from Cannes are the Lérins Islands — Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat. Quiet, natural, and rich in history, they’re perfect for a peaceful escape from the city. Bring a picnic or enjoy a seafood lunch by the sea.

5. Discover the Charm of Le Suquet

Wander through the old town of Cannes, known as Le Suquet. With its cobbled streets, local restaurants, and panoramic view over the bay, it’s the best spot to watch the sunset and feel the authentic soul of the city.

6. Enjoy Cannes by Night

When the sun goes down, Cannes lights up. From rooftop bars to beachside clubs and wine bars in the old port, the city offers something for everyone. Take your time, dress up, and enjoy the Riviera lifestyle at night.
