Better for swimming than for running/hiking. The most beautiful bathing beaches with rocky shores are on the opposite side of the island near the pond area.

May 7, 2025,Cannes - Insel Sainte Marguerite

From Cannes, you can take a ferry to the beautiful island of Sainte Marguerite in about 25 minutes. This tranquil island has an almost Caribbean feel. It lacks palm trees and sandy beaches, but instead offers stunning views of the cliffs, the sea, and, in some places, turquoise waters. A walk around the island is highly recommended.

The island is easy to walk around for a long time. A trip there from Cannes on a catamaran is an experience. Otherwise, the pine trees are beautiful and of course the views of the sea are great. There are small bays everywhere where you can swim in safety.
