Historically, this port was the largest fishing port in the Alpes-Maritimes in the 1920s and 1930s, and it still maintains a professional fishing industry today. Cros-de-Cagnes is known for its fishing village and maritime traditions. You can even find a Cros de Cagnes Fishermen's Market located on Rue du Capitaine de Frégate Vial, where you can buy fresh fish and seafood directly from local fishermen. This market is generally open from Tuesday to Sunday mornings. There are also initiatives to preserve maritime heritage, such as the restoration of the Sainte-Thérèse lobster boat, a traditional fishing boat. For those interested in learning how to fish or taking a sea trip, there are opportunities for boat trips or fishing trips, particularly from nearby Saint-Laurent-du-Var.
