Discover the coves of Cannes by kayak

Kayaking is a wonderful way to discover Cannes right beside the Mediterranean. Following the coastline or heading towards the islands reveals landscapes that are not always visible from the beach.

The coves of Sainte-Marguerite

The island's shoreline alternates between small inlets, rocks and crystal-clear water. Choose your stops carefully, respecting authorised areas and other visitors.

The Turquoise Escape

For a discovery of the Cannes coastline without crossing to the islands, our two-hour route lets you admire the shore, its colours and its Mediterranean atmosphere.

Other beautiful parts of the French Riviera

Théoule-sur-Mer and the Estérel massif offer striking contrasts between red rocks and blue sea. These are other areas to explore, separate from the trips departing from our base at Palm Beach.

Preserving these beautiful places

Leave no rubbish, do not disturb wildlife and avoid landing in protected areas. The most beautiful cove is the one we leave untouched.

Why coves look even better from the sea

From a kayak, you discover views hidden from roads and busy beaches. The light reveals pale seabeds, rocks and seagrass meadows, while the quiet lets you enjoy the scenery.

Around Sainte-Marguerite

The little inlets around Sainte-Marguerite attract visitors seeking turquoise landscapes. Some areas are protected or regulated: follow the instructions provided at the base, particularly for stopping, landing and swimming.

Choosing the right duration

A two-hour trip is ideal for exploring the nearby coastline and the Turquoise Escape. To reach the islands and take time to admire their coves, choose a half-day or full-day outing.

Taking photographs without harming the surroundings

For beautiful pictures, favour morning or late-afternoon light. Keep your phone in a waterproof case and do not paddle too close to rocks just to take a photograph.

Protecting this landscape

The beauty of the coves depends on protecting them. Do not pull up marine plants, leave no rubbish and respect areas where navigation or access is restricted.
