About this audio guide
This guide to the Pointe Croisette in Cannes looks past the yachts and beaches to what lies under the water between the headland and the Lérins Islands. It follows a Mediterranean seagrass meadow, the anchors that drag across it, and the divers of a local association who took up its cause. Along the way you'll hear where the headland's name comes from. Best heard at the very tip of the point, facing the islands.
