Cannes is one of the most recognised resort cities in Europe, and its beaches are a natural setting for an evening that combines sea air, sunset and a seated dinner. For a corporate group, a private section of beach is one of the most memorable settings the Riviera can offer, provided it is organised with the right operator and the right season.

We work with beach operators and event teams that hold the required concession and can set up a dining area, lighting and a reception bar. The programme usually starts with a sunset drink, moves to a seated dinner and ends with music or a short speech, with the timings adjusted to the tide and the wind.

Because public beaches in France are governed by local rules and seasonal concessions, every date is confirmed in writing before the event.

Objectives

  • Create a memorable Riviera evening for clients, partners or incentive winners

  3. 3Dinner served on the sand or on a platform terrace, depending on the site and the weather.
  4. 4Music or a short programme after dinner, with the timings set around the tide and wind.
  5. 5Transfers back to the hotels in Cannes or Antibes.

Good to know

  • Beach operations are seasonal, usually from spring to early autumn. Outside this period, we propose an indoor terrace instead.
  • Wind and sea conditions can change the set-up at short notice; a covered alternative is always agreed.
  • Amplified music is subject to local noise rules and must end at the time set by the municipality.
  • Access to beaches is public in France, and a private area must be marked and staffed by the operator.

Indicative budget

Indicative, from €320 per person excluding VAT, for a sunset reception and seated dinner on a private beach area, with sound and lighting. The price depends on the date, the group size, the menu and the beach concession. Transfers are quoted separately.

Frequently asked questions

When is a beach evening in Cannes possible?

Beach evenings are generally held from late spring to early autumn, when the operators are open and the weather is suitable. Exact dates depend on each operator's season and the municipal rules.

Can the whole beach be reserved?

Public beaches cannot be closed to the public. We reserve a defined area of beach through a licensed operator, and the boundaries and access are agreed with the operator and the municipality.

What if the weather turns?

Every beach evening has an indoor or covered alternative confirmed in advance. The client decides on the switch, usually a few hours before the start, after a check with the operator.
