Théoule sur Mer Tourist Information
For a change of beach scenery visit Theoule. In summer you can take a ferry from Cannes to Theoule. It drops you off on the west side of the town centre so you can walk in either direction and find beaches and restaurants. If you get seasick take the bus or the train. Théoule is just three stops from Cannes on the St Raphael train, taking about 12 minutes.
On leaving the station turn right down the hill - a bit of a walk - before turning left to the first beach and the marina. You can recognise the turning by the chain partly across the path. Here you find a lovely public beach with safe swimming and lifeguards on duty mid June to mid September.
There is an excellent restaurant called Chez Philippe offering à la carte and a set meal for lunch as well as a bar and snack bar. At weekends groups of people picnic on the beach. And you can always try to join in a game of boules on the beach – no charge.
In the Marina you will see the traditional painted Provencal jousting boats. The Theoule teams are formidable foes and "jousts" take place throughout the summer.
A walk around the marina brings you to another public beach and the private beach Magellan. There are lots of restaurants and snack bars to choose from as you walk the coast – only 10 minutes max from Chez Philippe to the Marco Polo beach and restaurant in the town’s centre.
If you enjoy a stroll carry on round the bay. There are a number of walks including a complete circuit of the headland - L’Aiguille - taking about 1hr 15 mins. En route there is a beach and restaurant before you leave the coast.
In Théoule there’s a choice of water sports and boat hire is also available. If driving there is plenty of parking but it does get very busy in the height of the season - be warned.
The tourist office is at 2 av de la Corniche d'or and it has a "web corner" with computers and wifi connexion - and two loos. See www.theoule-sur-mer.org
