Welcome to MIDI PLAGE, private beach, Cannes, French Riviera
MIDI PLAGE, private beach, Cannes, Côte d’Azur/ French Riviera
About the beach:
Midi Plage is situated to the west of the port in Cannes, along the sandy stretch of beach closest to the old town. This friendly, family run private beach is less expensive than the beaches on the Croisette, but enjoys fabulous views of the Lérins islands and the Esterel mountains. It is an idyllic venue for relaxing on a sun lounger by the calm waters of the Côte d’Azur, enjoying a spot of lunch on one of the two terraces, or having a drink in the chilled out lounge bar. It is open from March to November, and also features a restaurant that is both excellent and reasonably priced.
Beach beds/ umbrellas:
Sun Lounger + Umbrella (on beach) = €15 (Half day €11)
Sun Lounger + Umbrella (on Pontoon) = €18 (Half day €14)
Attractions nearby:
Cannes is the glitz and glamour capital of the French Riviera. For years, wealthy, beautiful people have been flocking here in their masses, bringing their impressive yachts and bulging wallets with them. As a result, Cannes now has a selection of some of the finest fashion boutiques, and no visit here would be complete without a browse through the designer stores that line ‘La Croisette’. A walk around the water’s edge of the old port and Port Pierre Canto will bestow to the visitor a remarkable selection of ostentatious boats that have to be seen to be believed.
A wander up through the winding Rue Saint Antoine leads into the charming ‘Suquet’ area of the town. Here, in the old quarter, visitors will be able to choose from a wealth of delightful restaurants, squeezed in amongst the narrow cobbled streets. The clock tower and church at the top of the hill overlook the town and the inviting beaches in the bay of Cannes. At the bottom of the Suquet is the Marché Forville, which offers a huge array of some of the freshest and best food on the Riviera.
A trip to the Lérins islands, just off the Cannes coastline, is a must-do for visitors to the town. The closest, Ile St Marguerite, is a mere 15 minute boat ride from the mainland, and boasts some fantastic walking tracks where rare plants and migratory birds can be spotted. The island owns the legendary story of the Man in the Iron Mask, who was imprisoned in the old fort for 11 years. The Ile Saint Honorat is a short hop over from St Marguerite, and is home to a monastery and a series of little chapels, steeped in years of history. Ferries to the islands depart once an hour from Cannes during the summer.
One of the other great opportunities available in Cannes is to rent a boat for a day and tour the beautiful coastline.
