Most cruise ships now stop at La Seyne sur Mer. The lovely sandy beach at Sablettes is just a short bus ride away. Walk out the port to main road, turn right, walk 100 metres, cross road to 'Avenue Charles Tournier' - bus stop is on right hand side up hill about another 100 metres or so. Catch number 83 bus to Les Sablettes. Journey is about 10 minutes and cost is less than 2 euro's each. When you get to Sablettes (last stop for bus), get off the bus, go to the right slightly (50 metres) and walk through to beach on other side. On return journey, bus stop is opposite where you got off. The stop you need is 'Rouve' (you'll see the port as you go down the hill on the bus). It's an easy journey, the bus drivers are used to people off the cruise ships and are very helpful though they do appreciate not being presented with large euro notes!

Bayeux - the war cemetery there should not be missed by anyone in the area. There are also smaller ones in the area but I was lost for words seeing so many graves in Bayeux. There is a War Museum there as well (not been there so can't comment on it). Bayeux is 30 easy kilometres from Caen. You could also see the Bayeux Tapestry on the same trip.
In the evening, drink Calvados and watch the fireworks (though they normally don't start 'til late)

Just get a taxi - from Queensway (nearest tube station) you'd have to do the Central line to Oxford Circus, change to Victoria line to St Pancras. If there's 4 or more of you the cost for a taxi is about the same as the tube and half the blood, sweat and tears!!
