Plage de Bijou Plage
You reach Bijou Plage where the Boulevard de la Croisette tapers toward Cap de la Croisette, and the water steadies into a gentler pool. The beach clubs thin out, the pebble-free sand spreads wider, and children wade safely while you watch superyachts drift past Îles de Lérins on the horizon.

Questions people actually ask about Plage de Bijou Plage.
Is Plage de Bijou Plage safe for swimming and families?
Yes, Plage de Bijou Plage is notably safer for swimming than many other Cannes beaches due to its location in the Palm Beach area at the eastern end of the bay, where waters are typically calmer and more sheltered. The beach is family-friendly with gentle waves making it suitable for children. Lifeguards are present during summer season. The sandy bottom slopes gradually, and the protected position reduces strong currents. However, always check daily flag warnings and supervise children closely near water.
When is the best time to visit Plage de Bijou Plage?
The best weather for Plage de Bijou Plage is from May through September, with July and August offering warmest water temperatures but larger crowds. June and September provide excellent conditions with fewer visitors and pleasant temperatures. The beach is accessible year-round, but swimming is most comfortable from June to September when the Mediterranean warms up. Mornings tend to be quieter, while afternoons can get busy during peak summer. Avoid visiting during the Cannes Film Festival in May if you prefer a relaxed atmosphere.
