L'Ecrin Plage Cannes

L’Ecrin Plage sits at the far end of the Boulevard de la Croisette, tucked into the Port Pierre Canto. It is a restaurant and private beach club offering a menu of Mediterranean, French seafood.

This is a better bet than the crowded stretches of sand closer to the Palais des Festivals. While the central beaches are packed with tourists fighting for a few inches of space, this corner of the port offers a more deliberate pace. It is the right choice if you want the proximity to the water without the shoulder-to-shoulder noise found in the city centre. The music here leans toward house and live sets, but the primary draw remains the ability to eat grilled fish a few metres from the tide line.
