Cannes la Bocca

Cannes la Bocca, the western district of Cannes, provides easy access to the seafront and the city's well-known landmarks. La Croisette and the Palais des Festivals remain classic points of reference for a stroll along the coast, while Plage du Midi draws beach-volleyball enthusiasts in a friendly, local atmosphere. The harbour and Cannes market round out the walks on offer, with opportunities to hire a boat, try jet-skiing or go parasailing along the shoreline. Shops and bars in the area punctuate the day, and for a simple, affordable lunch, Le Boston restaurant, serving halal food, is a popular choice in Cannes. The Île Sainte-Marguerite, reachable by boat, makes for a short nature getaway away from the bustle of town. The rail network also makes it easy to head further afield to Nice, Monaco or Menton, all worthwhile additions for exploring the French Riviera. Cannes la Bocca therefore works well as a convenient base, combining beach life, local shops and cultural or seaside excursions nearby.
