Marina Baie de Cannes

Marina Baie de Cannes occupies the western end of the Bay of Cannes, adjacent to the Mandelieu-la-Napoule seafront and offering a more sheltered alternative to the busy Vieux Port in Cannes town. The Esterel massif — dramatic red volcanic rock falling straight into the sea — forms a stunning backdrop to the west. The marina's position on the bay gives good access to the Lérins Islands, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, and the coast east toward Antibes and Nice. Stern-to Med mooring is standard. The bay is exposed to southerly and south-easterly winds, which can generate a short chop; the Mistral blows offshore here and typically brings fair weather.
