Escale Borely beach
This is a meeting place for rich and famous, athletes and world stars. There are several gems off the coast of Marseille, which are "strewed" in white yachts and luxury resorts, but Escale Borely is unique in its kind. This beach differs from its pompous neighbours in a more freedom-loving atmosphere and offers a rich choice of water and beach activities. Nearby is Boreli Park, which creates masterpieces of scenery and fragrant air in the area.

Beach description
Mild Mediterranean sun, unrivalled beauty of the southern coast of Marseille, well-developed infrastructure on the coast and warm friendly environment - all this makes Escale Borely attractive for a holiday with family or friends.
This beach is a spacious beach, where single sunbathers, families with children and athletes do not disturb each other. The impressive size of the beach allows it to comfortably accommodate everyone without any restraint. It is divided into two parts - sand and stone. It's very shallow and safe off the coast. The bottom is flat and soft. There are waves, but they do not reach a critical height at which it becomes uncomfortable to enter the water.
Borely beach is easily accessible by bus from the city centre. As for the car ride - at the peak of the season this idea should be abandoned, as parking spaces are available only around the neighbouring streets. In the summer, they're pretty crowded. There's paid parking along the track.
