Bijou Plage: ideal for families and children
Just like its neighbor Moure Rouge, Bijou Plage is isolated from the hustle and bustle of the road and city center. It offers clear water and fine sand. Families will find tranquility at Bijou Plage. The gradual increase in water depth allows for wading a considerable distance, ensuring children can splash around under the watchful eyes of their parents. Additionally, during the summer, lifeguards monitor the clear waters, providing extra safety. The beach also hosts a swimming school, offering young ones the chance to learn to swim in saltwater. Shielded from the road and traffic, the beach is bordered by a park and a pedestrian zone, allowing children and parents to move safely to the playground in the nearby square.

Reviews
Bijou Plage à Cannes est un lieu relativement préservée de l'agitation du centre-ville. Bien équipée et surveillée, elle séduit par son sable fin et ses zones de baignade peu profondes, parfaites pour les enfants. De plus, il est possible de se garer gratuitement à proximité, un atout non négligeable. Toutefois, son emplacement un peu éloigné de la gare peut représenter un inconvénient pour ceux qui se déplacent en train.
