Famous for its golden sandy beaches, Cannes is the perfect place to sun bathe on the Mediterranean. While a lot of the beaches are privately owned, there are several public beaches that you can head to as well to soak in the sun.
Le Vieux Port
Straight out of the picture, the Vieux Port (Old Port) is not just a picturesque dock for yachts and sailboats, but is also the launching place of the Royal Regatta as well!

Notre-Dame de l’Espérance
Offering some of the best views of Cannes, this church has a 17th century Madonna on the altar and a late gothic edifice from the 16th century. It is one of the most important churches in the city.
Best Time to Visit
While Cannes has great weather year-round, perfectly mild for a vacation, the best time to hit the beaches is from May to October.
