Hazards

SHELTERED Like most of the Cannes bay, genuine surf is rare — needs a real Levant or Mistral event to produce anything.
SANDBAR Sandy beach with mild banks when there is swell — nothing dramatic.
LOCALS Local, unpretentious crowd — a world away from the Croisette's glamour.
BOAT TRAFFIC Marina traffic nearby — stay clear of the channels.
