Staying near Plage Macé, Cannes
Plage Macé sits along the famous Boulevard de la Croisette, Cannes' seafront promenade, in the heart of the city. The area takes its name from one of the public beach sections that breaks up the stretch of private beach clubs between the Palais des Festivals and the Pointe de la Croisette. From here, guests can walk to the Marché Forville, the old port (Le Vieux-Port), and the boutiques of Rue d'Antibes in under fifteen minutes. The vibe is lively but polished: expect well-dressed crowds, beach restaurants and a steady hum of activity, particularly during the Cannes Film Festival in May. Transport is straightforward, with buses connecting the Croisette to Cannes train station and the wider Côte d'Azur network.
Accommodation in this pocket of Cannes ranges from sleek four-star hotels targeting business and festival travellers to a handful of smaller, more affordable options a short walk back from the seafront. Hotels directly on or adjacent to La Croisette tend to command premium prices, while properties one or two streets inland offer better value without sacrificing much in terms of convenience. The area is best suited to couples, solo travellers and professionals attending events at the Palais des Festivals, rather than families looking for quiet or budget-focused trips.

It is one of the few stretches of public sand interspersed among the private beach clubs that line this part of the coast.
Is Plage Macé a good area to stay in Cannes?+
Yes, for travellers who prioritise location. The area puts you within walking distance of the Palais des Festivals, Rue d'Antibes, the old port and the beach itself. It is particularly convenient during major events such as the Cannes Film Festival or the Cannes Lions.
