Croisette Beach in Cannes - France

We are on the Croisette Beach in the only public zone near the Palais du Festival. This picture was taken during the Cannes Film Festival.

In the summer the ambiance is different since there palm trees give an exotic feel and the new private beach reduces public space.

On the left is the first private beach. Across are the Lerins islands and Sainte-Marguerite.

In the summer a new private beach is added.

On the right is a nice view of the palace and in the background is the Esterel where we find many creeks which contrast with the beaches of Cannes.

There is a first-aid station in the summer near the palace. The beach is prolonged on the right side to the private beach. It becomes more narrow.

On the left is a succession of private beaches.

A few pictures taken out of season:

The public beach of Croisette is situated at the edge of Croisette – the part closest to the Palais des Festivals.

This beach extends along the Croisette and the Palaces. Only they edges are public.

A nice width of sand is rare in the Alpes Maritimes Department and creates a nice public space.

From this beach we can see the Cannes harbor and its Palais des Festivals on the right. In the background we can distinguish the Esterel (in the Var Department).

From the Croisette, this beach seems very vast.

We can find a ramp access to this beach from the Croisette. Behind is the roof of the Hotel Majestic.
