Best Beach Clubs in Cannes (2026)
A ranked guide to the nine best beach clubs on the Cannes Croisette, from the Carlton pontoon to La Guerite's island cove, with MyRSVP arranging every daybed.
Why we wrote this guide
The Cannes beach club is a category of its own. Along the Boulevard de la Croisette, the grand hotels and independent operators run private plages: stretches of groomed sand and pontoon with tiered sunbeds, cabanas, and a full kitchen behind them. You come for the morning swim, settle in for a long lunch over the Mediterranean, and let the afternoon drift toward a DJ set as the yachts swing at anchor off the bay. Sightlines run to the Esterel mountains and the Iles de Lerins, and through the Film Festival and the summer season these beaches are the center of the day.
The range is real. Some are quiet, protected coves built for swimming and conversation; others are theatrical, with fashion-house design and a nightly show. Prices move the same way, from a single sunbed to a VIP table that comes with dedicated staff. Most run seasonally, roughly April or May through September or October.
These beaches route through the MyRSVP concierge. Tell us the day, the group, and the budget, and we arrange the daybed, the cabana, or the table on the sand. Last updated July 2026.
The ranked guide
1. Carlton Beach Club (Croisette)
Carlton Beach Club runs along 400 meters of the Croisette's most coveted stretch, anchored by its world-renowned central pontoon. A 2020 redesign kept the 1950s bones intact, the white sunbeds, the wood and marble bars, and the lush lounges, while sharpening the sightlines across the Mediterranean toward the Esterel mountains and the Iles de Lerins. The beach tiers into clear social zones, from sunbeds at 80 to 100 euros up to VIP cabanas from 1,000 euros, and placement matters, because the pontoon-adjacent beds command both the premium prices and the best views. The restaurant runs split service, lunch from noon to 4 p.m. and dinner from 7 to 10:30 p.m., with chef Alexandra Delamare in the kitchen. It is the flagship Croisette address, the one most people picture when they picture a Cannes beach.
See Carlton Beach Club.
Best for: the classic pontoon-front Croisette day.
2. Copal Beach (Croisette)
Copal Beach sits at 63 Boulevard de la Croisette and stays open roughly 330 days a year, one of the few beaches here that does not fully shut down with the season. Chef Juan Arbelaez runs a menu of bold Colombian, Mexican, and Argentine flavors, with whole octopus in chimichurri and the ceviches as the signatures. Designed by Oreka Studio and operated by Must Group, the space mixes natural materials, bougainvillea, and velvet seating to carry it from serene daytime lounging into a livelier evening. Peak-season programming rotates Latin-inspired live music, and the Sunday brunch pulls a crowd for live piano and show-cooking stations. Sunbeds run 70 to 90 euros per person, with doubles at 170 to 220 euros, each tier granting priority access. It is the most distinctive kitchen on the sand.
See Copal Beach.
Best for: Latin American cooking and a long Sunday brunch.
3. La Guerite (Ile Sainte-Marguerite)
La Guerite spans 1,000 square meters on Ile Sainte-Marguerite, a rocky cove reached only by a ten-minute boat ride from the Cannes port, and that isolation is part of the draw. This is a festival-era beach club where many of the regulars arrive by yacht tender from the bay. The layout centers on a private beach with tiered sunbeds starting at 30 euros and a dining terrace over the Mediterranean and the Iles de Lerins. Chef Yiannis Kioroglou's menu leans Mediterranean, with baby chicken, fresh seafood, and a house-made cheesecake appearing regularly. VIP tables begin at 1,000 euros and come with priority seating, dedicated staff, and complimentary mixers. Open May through September, from 11 a.m., it is the island escape from the boulevard crush.
See La Guerite.
Best for: an island day reached by boat.
4. L'Ecrin Plage (Port Canto)
L'Ecrin Plage is the quieter beach club at Pointe Croisette in Port Canto, set apart from the main Croisette crush since it opened in 2003 under owner Patrick Tartary. A 150-sunbed layout spreads across a protected bay with Lerins Island views, anchored by a private sandy beach and its own pontoon. A 2020 redesign by Miguel Cancio-Martins refreshed the terrace and set the tone: beach-sophisticated, with stylish swimwear or polished attire the expected look. The crowd is a discreet mix of global influencers, business travelers, and celebrities who want the water and the scene without the boulevard chaos, and the club regularly hosts brand events, with Lancome, Cartier, and L'Oreal among past clients. It trades noise for calm.
See L'Ecrin Plage.
Best for: a quieter, discreet beach day away from the crowd.
5. Nammos (Palm Beach)
Nammos Cannes opened in 2021, transplanting the Mykonos beach-club formula onto Plage Franklin Roosevelt on the Croisette. Run by the Nammos World group, this is the full daybed-and-cabana beach scene, seasonal from April to October and a magnet for the summer Riviera crowd. Sunbeds start at 70 euros on the sand facing the Mediterranean, while tiered cabanas and VIP tables begin around 1,000 euros on the terrace, with dedicated staff and complimentary mixers. The beach club opens late morning and the day scene winds down around 7 p.m., though afternoon DJ sets carry the momentum through sunset. The kitchen is built on fresh fish, premium beef, and sushi, with dinner service running until 10 p.m. It brings the Greek-island energy to the Cannes shoreline.
See Nammos.
Best for: the high-energy Mykonos-style beach scene.
6. La Mome Plage (Croisette)
La Mome Plage is a beach club on the Boulevard de la Croisette with its design anchored in nautical elegance. Teak flooring, porthole mirrors, and turquoise banquettes take their cue from the Italian Riva Aquarama boat, punctuated by the high-society photographs of Slim Aarons. The club runs daily from noon to 5 p.m., extending to 7 p.m. for events, and moves from serene daytime lounging into evening programming as resident DJs spin soulful house and Mediterranean tracks, particularly during the signature Sunday brunches. The dress code is polished and beach-elegant, refined swimwear or stylish attire, which holds the venue's upscale standards. Chef Alexandre Elia runs the Mediterranean menu. It is the design-led beach on the boulevard.
See La Mome Plage.
Best for: a style-forward daybed and Sunday brunch.
7. La Plage Du Martinez (Croisette)
La Plage du Martinez is the private beach of the Hotel Martinez on the Croisette, designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon to blend Roaring Twenties glamour with Mediterranean sophistication. Striped sunbeds line the water, and a sunlit terrace in terracotta and navy tones opens onto unobstructed views of the bay. The beach runs daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a relaxed poolside atmosphere. The dress code is smart casual, relaxed but polished, with no beachwear beyond the beach area. Sunbeds run 28 to 37 euros, among the most accessible on the Croisette, while VIP tables begin at 1,000 euros and include priority seating, dedicated service, and complimentary mixers. The kitchen is overseen by chef Jean Imbert. It is a hotel beach done with real polish.
See La Plage Du Martinez.
Best for: a polished hotel beach at an accessible sunbed price.
8. Annex Beach (Croisette)
Annex Beach is the most theatrical beach club on the Croisette, directly across the boulevard from the Carlton. By day it is an Italian beach-restaurant with sunbeds on the sand; by night it becomes an open-air stage, and a Cannes day on the beach turns, without moving, into the evening's entertainment. What makes it singular is the design. The interiors are by Jacques Garcia, reportedly his only seaside project, inspired by the grottoes of Isola Bella, all baroque detail, sculpted vaulted ceilings, and play of light. On top of that, the club is dressed head to toe by Roberto Cavalli in a multi-year partnership, the 2025 season returning to the house's signature zebra print. A nightly show completes the picture.
See Annex Beach.
Best for: dinner-and-a-show that starts on the sand.
9. Miramar Plage (Croisette)
Miramar Plage is the gastronome's beach on the Croisette, a private plage at No. 64 that has been running quietly longer than most of its flashier neighbors. Established in 2006 and marking its twentieth anniversary in 2026, it is a beach club by day and a genuine seafront restaurant by night, the sort of Cannes address regulars return to rather than a one-season newcomer. The day is straightforward Riviera pleasure: sunbeds and swimming, a long lunch on the sand. The evening is where Miramar shows its ambition. Chef Valerian Mangione, who trained at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Epicure at Le Bristol in Paris, and Byblos in Saint-Tropez, runs a crudo bar and caviar service alongside dry-aged cuts. It rewards the diner who stays past sunset.
See Miramar Plage.
Best for: a beach day that becomes a serious dinner.
