Beautiful island, like a large park. If in Cannes, especially on a hot day, visit to the island is highly recommended. The boat ride is a breeze, 10...15 minutes, tickets can be bought at the port before the departure. Boar ride is an opportunity to enjoy the scenery and look at Cannes from the sea. The island itself is a large park, with nice trees and bushes, plenty of sightseeing opportunities. There is only one restaurant, reservation is recommended if interested, and two kiosks for snacks and light drinks. Then just walk around, enjoy the coolness of the forest and take a swim in the beaches between two island. 3...4 hours are sufficient on the island. So plenty of time to do regular Cannes stuff after the return.
