Why go
The islands change the view of Cannes from a built-up shore to a wooded Mediterranean setting. Sainte-Marguerite suits a day focused on paths and coastline; Saint-Honorat adds the abbey and its monastic heritage. The smaller islets are part of the archipelago, but the two larger islands are the practical choices for visitors.
What to look for
- Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat are the two main visitable islands.
- Coastal paths and beaches shape the outdoor visit.
- Saint-Honorat has an active abbey community.
Useful to know
- Choose the island before buying passage; the landings and visits differ.
- Check ferry service and conditions before leaving Cannes.
- Allow for an outdoor day, with limited shelter on exposed stretches.
