Beach description

Protected by two dams, this large sand and gravel bay is particularly popular with families with children. This is a small chamber section that extends over a length of 500 meters. Most of it is occupied by sand, but the scythe prominent in the sea is an embankment of stones. In the same area, the stones are also found underwater. Bathing with children is not comfortable there, so it is better to stop only in the sandy areas. If you are still attracted to rock formations, take care of comfortable rubber shoes so as not to hurt your legs or slip.

When it comes to the weather, the beach is usually completely windless, which affects the nature of the waves. If they are, the lungs and the weak, which create a fascinating background for children's games in the water without putting the kids in danger.

Kids have no playgrounds on the beach, but good fine sand is ideal for building beautiful castles, so kids will have something to occupy themselves on this picturesque coast of Marseille.

Useful information

  1. There are several options for getting to the beach. The ferry is often under repair for technical reasons, so you can take a boat transfer from the Old port to Pointe Rouge. It is intended for passengers, but tourists also use it. However, be prepared to queue.
