The 36 best beaches in and around La Ciotat

Magnificent view and easy access. I went early before the sunrise and I got a free parking till 9am and I enjoyed the Calanque all by myself😍

Worth the hike for 30 minutes, wonderful day

Just beautiful. You need to be there very early to park…there is a car park but we saw people double parking which would make it hard to get out. Better to get one of the end spaces on the road. These are still paid we believe, we paid anyway! Charges are expensive but worth it for the beach and view. Water shoes are a must. Beautiful bay for swimming. Steep walk back up.

Great place..we love it in the spring!

This is my favorite place to go. I used to go there when I was little. It's far from the other beach but man the water is clear, not too crowded and when it's hot that's the place. You'll also find a small restaurant there to catch a drink or more.

Medium sized calanque made out of interesting brown mud and stone. This, along with the prominant Rocher du Capucin hill that looks like a hawk/ dog head, makes for perfect photo ops. beach is busy in the day but fairly quiet in the evening when the sun disappears out of it, with rocks of differing heights to jump off of. Only downside is the pebbly beach gets a sheen of brown on your beach towel! Parking on street is ok, 1 hour for free and free after 8pm.

This lovely cove is about 20min walk from la Ciotat harbour . Don't bother driving ,parking is mostly residential. 1 restaurant and 1 cafe there , good afternoon or lunch treck

Great scenic garden with amazing views. Worth walking to the top and also get a refreshing swim on the clear waters. You can access the water entering the park.

"A breathtaking landscape — completely different from the typical beaches of France. After the first cove, there's another one that's quieter and less crowded. If you go a bit further, you can sit on the rocks and dive into the crystal-clear water. The view is absolutely rewarding!"

Very nice views and beach areas but pretty crowded and rocky. If you can find a spot to squat you will have a good time. Parking is the hardest part once you tackle that you are set.

Unbelievably busy, paid parking but park was closed for safety. Could still go down to the beach but everyone was so packed close together we didn't bother. Nice to walk about the pathway and take pics but that's it....

Nice clear water. Rocky shore but not busy. Easy hike through the gardens.

A gem overlooking the calanques. Come with good hiking shoes to make the most of it. Breath taking views. The hack to the calanques is not very kid friendly Pic Nic in the parc by the playground in the shade was very enjoyable. Toilets available on site. Clean and well maintained. No cafe or food. Bring your own.

Park maintenance has seriously deteriorated. There are virtually no signs to help you navigate which is not that much of a problem as there is Little to see

Nice beach (smoke free zone) lots of restaurants nearby. Great for families

Lovely fine sand, clear clean sea perfect for swimming and for young children. Only a small beach from sea to wall so does get cramped when the weather is hot

Clean and not too crowded

Very nice beach. With real sand and no Stones like in casis. Child friendly, no big waves and not very deep the first 50meters . Downside is that many people know this so it's very crowded on the beach.

Seems to be a very nice beach . Far from city center and harbour Very few parking places .toutes payantes .

I felt like Goldilocks here - the water wasn't too cool, the sun wasn't too hot, and the beach was just right!

Very nice beach, kids friendly! Also a lot of places to eat around.

I do not recommend this beach. The beach was very small and crowded. The water was surprisingly cold. For me, it was not possible to go into the water. The parking was very expensive (2 hours 7€).

Cute beach but small. Get there early to not miss a spot! Lovely swimming with fish in the water. It’s a pebble beach so bear that in mind

Beautiful corner of paradise. Water is fresh but super clean and trasparent.

Cool

very small and overcrowded

Top

(Translated by Google) Small pebble beach, very quickly crowded, even before 10 a.m., but supervised and with a restaurant. The two surrounding coves were closed that day due to fire risk, which concentrated the crowds on this beach. On the other hand, the water was magnificent for snorkeling, teeming with fish; I didn't even need to leave the supervised area for that. Saw about ten jellyfish. The yellow flag was up, which put people on alert. With a mask, it was easy to spot and avoid them. Parking nearby and easy to access, even if it's a bit of a climb on the way back. (Original) Plage de petits galets, petite, très vite bondée, même avant 10h, mais surveillée et présence d un restaurant. Les 2 calanques autour étant fermées ce jour pour risque d incendie ont concentré la fréquentation sur cette plage. En revanche eau magnifique pour le snorkeling, poissonneuse, même pas eu besoin de sortir de la zone surveillée pour cela. Vu une dizaine de méduses. Le pavillon jaune était levé, ce qui mettait en alerte. Avec un masque facile de les repérer et les éviter. Stationnement proche et facile d accès, même si ça monte un peu au retour.

Calm, pretty, rocky beach outside the busy town. Parking is a bit tight, but totally worth it.

Wild beach. Very calm. Sea much warmer. Very beautiful for snorckling

Beautiful view

Cool

Sunset Liouquet for ever

Cailloux Cailloux Cailloux

I love it

Not very pleasant looking, also not very comfortable due to rocky ground. Okay for a quick jump in the water.

The path to this small beach is unfortunately used by antisocial dog owners as a dog toilet. Disgusting!

Rocks and waves. 🌊

(Translated by Google) Small, intimate pebble beach with a restaurant at the entrance, magnificent and calm. At the end of the afternoon in August, it was calm. View of the beach with ships waiting for their turn to go to the refinery in the background. (Original) Petite plage intimiste de galets avec un restaurant à l'entrée magnifique et calme en tout en fin d'après midi au moi d'août c'était calme. Vue de la plage avec des navires qui attendent leur tour pour aller à la raffinerie au fond .

(Translated by Google) Very nice place On the rocks easy access to the sea Little nugget easily accessible to all In the heart of Ciotat Bay The hotel nearby is also very nice. (Original) Lieu très agréable Sur les rochers accès à la mer facile Petite pépite facilement accessible de tous Au cœur de la baie de la Ciotat L'hôtel qui s'y trouve à proximité est très sympa aussi

(Translated by Google) One of my favorite beaches in the city, a nice place to relax in the evening with friends with a beautiful view of the city and the shipyard porticos. Thanks to the structure of the beach made of flat stones, it is easy to land without losing your belongings. (Original) Une des mes plages préférés de la ville, lieu sympa pour se poser le soir avec les amis avec une belle vue sur la ville et les portiques du chantier naval. Grâce à la structure de la plage en pierres plates, c'est facile de se poser sans perdre ses affaires.

(Translated by Google) Maybe on rocks but quiet beach compared to others! (Original) Peut être sur des rochers mais plage tranquille comparée aux autres !

It is a clean beach, the sand and the sea are beautiful, but the water is incredibly cold.

very calm and cozy and clean to chil and have a swim close by the village of La Ciotat

Nice and clean local beach, there are 2 free toilets, two showers and a small restaurant. On the other side of the road there is a small grocery store.

Great view. Clean and nice water. Cheap shop around the beach.

Forget if you have a dog. And crazy thing : the city dust goes to the sea close by a canal close to the beach. Everything close by so be careful.

Not a sandy beach and only small, but very nice and fun place for a swim. Lots of watersport available

Nice beach

Tried to go there on a Sunday but parking was a nightmare. Once I found a spot (a bit far from the beach) I was shocked that parking for a couple of hours was almost 12 euro. And there were parking inspectors everywhere so a fine was almost guaranteed. Compared to other beaches between Marseille and Toulon, this was way excessive, so I got the vibe that the city council was not exactly encouraging tourists. The beach itself looked pretty nice but not different from many others around. I also tried Plage Lumiere which is nearby, but same story. Ended up going to Plage des Lecques instead.

Nice, but crowded.

It was a busy beach. But nevertheless with great sunshine and the sea was very pleasant with a gradual slope into the water. You could pay €30+ for a beach bed, but we just rolled out a towel and enjoyed the sunshine.

Very clean beach with blue water. It's perfect for family outing with kids. Variety of restaurants near to beach. Parking place for car also available nearby.

Busy with maintenance. Lovely garden overlooking the sea.

No smoking at the beach (I'm able to take care of my cigarettes 😑), Jellyfishes A really nice port nearby! Not too busy beach areas. Clean water

Perfect place to rest, sun, walk. This is my favourite place in France.

Very nice beach restaurant. Food is good and also the sushi is fantastic! Nice place overlooking the beach. Perfect for lunch!

You pay a bit more for the view and location, but the food is certainly good, even the sushi.

We had meat tartare and fish n chips.it was very successful.portions and marination were good.I will come again.

Closest restaurant to the beach so views of the Med are uninterrupted if you get the outdoor beachside tables on the terrace. Prices are a bit higher than others for similar dishes but view+quality of food is great and service very friendly/efficient so it balances out. We had the Sea Bass and the Wolf Fish (?) Both were excellent in preperation, presentation and of course, taste. Plenty of Bread and Olive oil... but no side plates?

Great place to spend a day on the beach!! Very good service, great food, very fresh and tasty!!

Service is wonderful. Prawns and scallops are reaally fresh. Dessert, chocolate, is perfect. Of course, the view of ocean cannot be forgettable.

Good food but completely hidden 5e fee for pepper sauce with the beef, it’s a bit of a joke

Exceptional dinner meniu. We had a wonderful evening, experiencing countless different flavors. Surrounded by stunning views of the sea horizons. Amazing local wines. Helpful, pleasant, friendly service. The whole atmosphere was grate.

Wow!! Cannot get over how amazing our lunch was today. Amazing amazing views. Great vibe and exceptional service by the staff. Also the best duck I’ve ever had. Having a G&T to start the lunch with these views was such a vibe let me tell you! Won’t regret trying this place. Also the parking situation was amazing. They have dedicated parking for people who have an advanced reservation with the restaurant. They leave your name with the parking attendant at front, you just say your name, don’t have to pay 10 EUR and get parking right out the front of the restaurant. We went early and enjoyed the walk around the view point and Calanques.

Everything was perfect during our visit. The welcome was warm, the attention to detail from the staff who prepared and those who served was exceptional. The food tasted as good as it looked and believe me,visually, the dishes were works of art! See my pictures. I would strongly recommend this as a restaurant offering great ambience and food to match. Well done to all concerned! I cannot think of anything that could have been done better. Oh and did I mention the cheese board?Oh my word! Sublime!

Our set lunch menu was as tasty and beautifully as the view was marvelous. Exciting tastes with meticulous attention to the details. An addition from the wide selection of cheeses made the meal complete. The staff was very pleasant and professional. Clearly a restaurant with high ambitions, witch I believe they reacted.

The view and setting are absolutely breathtaking, worth every penny. I recommend booking an early dinner to fully enjoy the sunset 🌅 and stunning sea views. The food was delicious, with the grilled tomato being a standout. I appreciate the concept of offering two set menus to choose from. However, the service could be improved by having two designated serving times. This would allow the kitchen to bring out food for all guests simultaneously, which would save time, especially considering the terrace has over 50 seats. Staggered arrivals make it challenging to serve everyone smoothly ☺️.

If you are in cassis and looking for a place to picnic with nice views here is the place. Recommend time is before sunset and you can see the colors at the mountains turn to be golden. Need to prepare for a comfortable mattress or pillow as it rocky area, not an easy to find a way to get in to the water but you should try.

Fantastic views from this wonderful location on the edge of Cassis. The food really is exceptional and the service immaculate - there’s even complimentary parking! We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon!

The food was absolutely delicious. Absolutely top. It is pricey, but it is worth the money. We tried the Chateau Bandol wine and was amazing The reason for not giving 5 star is because we were asked by the waiter if we want still or sparkling water, instead of just giving us a bottle of tap water like they did for all the other french tables. But they they saw we are tourists, and well … profit is profit

My first time visit to La Ciotat and our host suggested this restaurant for dinner. We had a mixed seafood (planche de la mer), followed by linguines aux palourdes and crab ravioli. Everything was perfect no delicious.

Delicious food for reasonable prices in very nice atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful view of the port.

Wonderful location and very nice stuff. Very nicely presented food, unfortunately taste-wise just ok.

It's a place with a nice view and atmosphere. Dishes and desserts are nice. Visited as part of a team outing.

Had a great meal! We sat on the terrace, which has a stunning view of the water — honestly hard to beat. The food was delicious, everything fresh and well prepared. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you're in the area.

I went to this restaurant with my family for dinner. When we placed our order, we specifically asked for the burgers to be cooked rare and medium rare. The server took our order and went to the kitchen without mentioning any issues. However, when the food arrived, the burgers weren’t just overcooked — they were completely well done, almost to the point of being “congratulations” burgers. We politely asked the server to remake them as we had originally requested. Instead, he told us they couldn’t do that due to some vague law requiring beef to be fully cooked. Even if that were true, it was the responsibility of the waiter or the kitchen to inform us before preparing the food that our request couldn’t be honored. They didn’t — they simply went ahead and overcooked the burgers without saying a word, then refused to correct the issue. From that point on, the atmosphere between our table and the staff was, to say the least, awkward. Everything else about the experience was fine, but that particular incident — where the restaurant was clearly at fault and refused to acknowledge it — left a bad impression overall.

The beach is nice. But it's la Ciotat!!! 34 euros for 1 mattress and 1 umbrella??! Fois is good. Service nice

Good amenities — the umbrella, the sunbeds. Good sand beach, shallow water — great for the kids, the seniors and for the alternatively-floating public. Good location. Fast service. A dining option right near the beach in the shadow: great food, lots of fruits, cheerful and welcoming staff. I recommend, and I will visit again.

Foods alright, location is alright, all average. Wouldntngo here with high hopes. However, the beach and área are lovely.

We go here every time we visit La Ciotat, to rent beach chairs and have lunch - occasionally drinks and dinner too. Great location and menu options, and we’ve always had friendly, attentive service.

The best discovery of the holidays!! If you looking for french cuisine with an amazing view and music live at night... This is your place. All staff 100% committed to give their best so you can enjoy your food watching the sunset and the sunrise. Forget the expensive and luxury places this is your place. Ask for the cocktails!

Unfortunately, this place got significantly worse in comparison with last year. Coctail I had was basic (last year they really worked on their presentation), wine was clearly dilluted in water and the mixed plate of cheese and charcuterie is insanely small for the price of 22 eur (sic!). Furthermore, the service was insanely slow - it took about 20 min just to get the menu and then another 30 min to receive the order which didn't include any cooked meal.

Nice experience eating on the beach. Nice and helpful staff. Prices a bit high but decent food overall

As you walk toward the beach, you’ll discover the beach facing bar called same same same beach. The view is extraordinary as you have the drink. But the service is unfriendly, and the prices are extraordinary. Two smoothies cost us sixteen euros. And this is a non alcoholic smoothie! Buying a parasol costs also 16 euros. In this economy?

Nice spot for lunch on the beach. The Asian inspired menu is great and food came out really quick after ordering. Drinks are great too and the views are amazing. It’s just a bit expensive

The nicest place at Bestouan beach. The only place at Bestouan beach :) Champagne by the glass. No Champagne specific glasses, though. Sparkling water served in plastic bottles with plastic glasses - might be due to security reasons. Nice view, like the style / decorations. Locals come here, too - drinking Ricard bottles on weekdays at noon \o/ la belle vie!

2 stars for the view and drinks but the owner and staff are horrendous - too cool or indifferent to do their jobs. They seemed annoyed to have to take our order and then forgot half of it and didn’t seem to care. Pity as it is in such a nice location and could be so good. Also you have to line up to pay at the end with one indifferent person taking payment. A pretty bad experience all round other than the fabulous view and location

The place is cute and has a nice atmosphere, plus the view is amazing. however, the service is not the best and everything is very expensive.

This is a beautiful place. The view of the beach is so serene. Great food and wonderful customer service—a perfect spot to make memories you’ll always cherish

Worst experience. Nice view. Horrible food. Extremely overpriced.

Great place. I came to spend the morning and afternoon during off season day. Very friendly and polite staff. Had an amazing salmon tartar and the caipirinha was really well made. Would definitely go back again. Good spot for small groups.

Very nice place. Very clean and the guys very polite and good energy! I highly recommend!

We went there for drinks twice, very friendly staff and chill atmosphere at the beach with great music, we also got two sun beds, they were comfortable and ok priced.

Great beach, very tasty good, good drinks, friendly staff. The beds are very comfy, there is shower as well. perfect to stay all day at the beach

Rip off: 38€ for a sunbed and clunky umbrella not even in the 1st row, super close to all the others, and with showers that do not drain well as they clearly do not regularly clean the filters.

Eat right at the beachfront Food is tasty, service at times a bit slow.

Feels like you are in a club , music is loud Very crowded , though it’s a job smoking beach , people still smoke

Nice setting steps from the calanque beach, quiet and off the beaten path, walking access only. Quiet location with sea view. The restaurant was busy, good flow of customers. The menu wasn’t huge but had a variety of choices. Ate the fish and beef. Good meals, nicely plated. The servers were pleasant and welcoming. Suggest coming to eat at 7pm to get the daylight and get started early.

A disgrace sold as a “boutique hotel” The place markets itself as a charming, quality hotel — in reality, it’s a noisy, poorly kept youth hostel run by untrained young staff with zero supervision. No reception, no housekeeping (not even once in a full week), no phone to contact staff. The so-called “reception” and office areas are used as storage rooms, always empty, never attended. The tiny “shared garden” faces the snack bar, the restaurant, the bungalows, all the kitchen air-conditioning units, the laundry room, the staff workshop (full of tools and clutter), and finally the public walkway to the beach. Result: constant noise, zero privacy. Wet outdoor furniture, dirty cushions, and swarms of mosquitoes breeding in stagnant water. At night, the beach turns into a party zone — amplified music, shouting, car alarms, and the main entrance left unlocked, with no night staff, no supervision, no security. Several fights and incidents occurred during the stay. For the price, it’s outrageous. I’ve stayed in far poorer countries where hospitality, cleanliness, and respect are worth a hundred times more than this insult at €180 per night.

Our group of five had an exceptional experience at Chez Tania. The view was absolutely stunning—among the best we've seen, even compared to other oceanfront restaurants we've visited. The staff was consistently friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We sampled a variety of dishes from the menu, and every one of us was thoroughly impressed with our selections.

We had lunch at Chez Tania today and it was a wonderful experience! A unique location, great service with a very attentive and friendly server, and one of the best meals we've had in a long time. Highly recommend!

This place has a beautiful restaurant with very tasty food! It is a beach place but still upscale and classy. I really liked the veggie éntree. They have a dessert tray with about 6 or 7 desserts to choose from. They also have sorbet and ice cream.

We had a nice half day trip to Callanques des Figuerolles and Chez Tania restaurant. It is perfectly nestled in between red rock formations with gentle breeze from the sea to cool you off. Waiters are really polite and fast. We ate traditional Bouillabaisse and kids ate menu enfant. Everything was perfect

Stunning location, good food but terrible service. Waiters took no notice of us, we waited very long for any food or drinks to arrive. It seens staff can't cope with the large number of visitors and don't really care about their wellbeing. Not sure I'd go back, despite the amazing location.

I did enjoy my time on the island. It is a 10-minute boat ride from La Ciotat and costs 14 euro round trip. The coves are smaller than the ones on the main land. The crystal blue water is rewarding the time on the island. It's hot during the summer months, and packing water is a must. Parc national des Calanques is the best nature wounder in the region, and as I spent my last day here on the island ile Verte has a different vibe compared with the mainland park. The end story of the for this hospitality is to be left for the birds to be free on this habitat.

(Translated by Google) Île Verte is a small uninhabited wooded island, located in the Calanques National Park. It is approximately 600 meters from Bec de l'Aigle and 1.5 km from the port of La Ciotat. This island offers very beautiful landscapes of coves. The view of the Bec de l'Aigle, located just opposite, is superb. In addition, you can admire a nice panorama of the city and the Bay of La Ciotat. We discovered the island in April, during the gull nesting period. It was an unexpected sight with many birds nesting on the island. Île Verte includes two forts: Fort Géry and Fort Saint Pierre, the latter being the highest point on the island. The two forts have played a defensive role in the Bay of Ciotat throughout history. We can still find the remains of the blockhouses on the island, witnesses of the Second World War. It takes half a day maximum to visit the island. From April to October, shuttles operate every hour, in approximately 10 minutes. During the season, a bar-restaurant is set up on the island and welcomes visitors. (Original) L'Île Verte est une petite île boisée inhabitée, située dans le Parc national des Calanques. Elle se trouve à environ 600 mètres du Bec de l'Aigle et à 1,5 km du port de La Ciotat. Cette île offre de très beaux paysages de calanques. La vue sur le Bec de l'Aigle, situé juste en face, est superbe. De plus, on peut admirer un joli panorama de la ville et de la Baie de La Ciotat. Nous avons découvert l'île en avril, pendant la période de nidification des goélands. C'était un spectacle inattendu avec de nombreux oiseaux qui nichent sur l'île. L'Île Verte comprend deux forts: le Fort Géry et le Fort Saint Pierre, ce dernier étant le point culminant de l'île. Les deux forts ont joué un rôle défensif dans la Baie de la Ciotat au fil de l'histoire. On trouve encore sur l'ile les restes des blockhaus, témoins de la seconde guerre mondiale. Il faut compter une demi-journée au maximum pour visiter l'île. D’avril à octobre, des navettes assurent la liaison toutes les heures, en environ 10 minutes. Pendant la saison, un bar-restaurant est installé sur l'île et accueille les visiteurs.

(Translated by Google) Almost deserted island, left in its original state. Pretty coves where you can swim, but you have to arrive on the first boat to find a place. No public toilets. Beautiful viewpoints sometimes. Inaccessible to disabled people. (Original) Ile quasi déserte restée dans son jus .jolies calanques où l'on peut s'y baigner mais il faut arriver par le premier bateau pour pouvoir y trouver une place. Pas de toilettes publiques. Jolis points de vues parfois . Inaccessible aux personnes handicapées

(Translated by Google) A 15-minute boat ride from the old port of La Ciotat (departs every hour from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in July and August), for €14 round trip (cash on the boat, no online booking), takes you to this small, verdant island that's easy to navigate, offering priceless views of Bec d'Aigle, the Mugel calanque, and La Ciotat. There's a lovely, shaded path that circles the entire island—it takes an hour to walk it all slowly—and a couple of calanques where you can sunbathe. To the right of the pier is La Plageolle, a very small, windswept cove in the shade even in the early afternoon, and Seynerolles, a larger, sunnier cove, to the left. The water was so clear and clean that we saw a starfish and a ray. At the pier, there's a restroom and a reasonably priced bar where you can sip a beer while waiting for the ferry to return. Definitely a must-see if you're in the area. (Original) A 15 minuti di battello dal porto vecchio della Ciotat (partenza ogni ora dalle 9 alle 18 a luglio e agosto), pagando 14 euro andata e ritorno (rigorosamente cash sul battello, non si può prenotare online) si può arrivare su quest'isoletta molto verde e facile da girare, che regala scorci impagabili sul bec d'aigle, sulla calanque del Mugel e su La Ciotat. C'è un bel percorso ombreggiato che gira tutta l'isola, ci si mette un'ora a farlo tutto con calma, e un paio di calanques in cui si può prendere il sole, rispetto all'imbarcadero c'è a destra la plageolle, molto piccola, battuta dal vento e in ombra già nel primo pomeriggio, e seynerolles a sinistra più grande e soleggiata. L'acqua era talmente limpida e pulita che abbiamo visto una stella marina e una razza. All'imbarcadero c'è una toilette e un bar con prezzi onesti, dove poter sorseggiare una birra mentre si aspetta il ritorno del traghetto. Assolutamente da non perdere se siete da queste parti.

(Translated by Google) I recommend the trip to the Ile Verte de La Ciotat. In 10 minutes you disembark on a small pontoon, a bar at the end, then steps made of wooden logs, and you go around the island in 1 hour. 3 calenques allow you to swim. Therefore avoid days during the holiday or summer season as the few places will be taken. Charming and picturesque walk. (Original) Je recommande la virée sur l’Ile Verte de La Ciotat. En 10 mn on débarque sur un petit ponton, un bar au bout, puis des marches en rondins de bois, et vous faites le tour de l’île en 1 heure. 3 calenques permettent de se baigner. Éviter donc les jours en saison de vacances ou d’été car le peu de places sera pris. Promenade charmante et pittoresques.

(Translated by Google) Just sublime 😍, I am won over by this little corner of paradise, transparent waters and fish by appointment, bring more pleasant water shoes, accessible by shuttle or canoe. On the other hand you have to arrive early in order to enjoy in complete tranquility. This day I I only did the Calanque de Plageolle, but I intend to return there to find out what remains. Moms, I don't advise you to bring strollers unless (if it is very light) or if you stay in the cove which is at the edge of the quay you can enjoy the only restaurant on the island that requires reservations! (Original) Juste sublime 😍, je suis conquise par ce petit coin de paradis,eaux transparentes et poissons au rdv,prévoir chaussures aquatiques plus agréable,accessible en navette ou canoë .Par contre il faut arriver tôt afin de profiter en toute tranquillité.Ce jour j’ai fais seulement la calanque de plageolle, mais je compte bien y retourner pour connaître ce qui reste . Les mamans je vous conseil pas d’apporter les poussettes sauf (si elle est très léger )où si vous restez dans la calanque qui est au bord du quai on peut profiter du seule restaurant de l’île pensée à réserver !

(Translated by Google) A place to visit at least once during your vacation. Unfortunately, we weren't able to have lunch at the restaurant because it was fully booked more than a week in advance, but the island is a little corner of paradise, and even without eating there, we were able to enjoy the place with a picnic and a drink upon leaving, with impeccable service despite the crowds. PS: A 👍 for the crew of the boat that makes the crossing (Original) Un endroit à faire au moins une fois pendant vos vacances. Nous n’avons malheureusement pas pu déjeuner au restaurant car complet plus d’1 semaine à l’avance mais l’ile est un petit coin de paradis et, même sans manger sur place, nous avons pu profiter de ce lieu autour d’un picnic et boire un verre en repartant avec un service nickel malgré l’affluence. PS : un 👍 pour le personnel du bateau qui fait la traversée

Stunning view and nice trails to walk around if you have the time.

Must see if you are in Cassis. Route Des Cretes presents so many opportunities for fantastic views of Cassis, the Calanques and the sea!

The one day hike from La Ciotat to Cassis is highly recommended. These are the highest cliffs along the Mediterranean coast. Views are breathtaking.

Best views of Cassis and the area. Unforgettable sunsets. Bring your picnic stuff and arrive at least an hour before sunset for getting a spot right on cliffs edge

The road close on Sundays part of the year, check before travel

Breathtaking & stunning views!

Amazing!

Gorgeous views a short walk from La Ciotat. Don't miss the footpath behind the chapel that leads to the top of the hill! It can get very windy, hold on to your kids and belongings.

Great views from the church and the care taker recommended that we climb the hill behind the church which had even better views !! The chuch itself is nice with interesting paintings.

at a very nice location. from where you can see the blue sea and mountains, beaches and la ciotat city

Beautiful views of the sea and surrounding mountains

It's a wonderful challenge

Must see for People who love beautuful views! Also you can get on top of the Hill and watch sunset!!! 👌😍

The chapelle doesn't open now. But the view from it is great!

very tranquil plage, very clean and nice beach bars for food close by. Clean toilets.

My favorite beach in France till date! Beautiful waves, easy access, parking right next to the beach. Love love love! Just wish people respected the place a little more and didn’t throw their trash in the sea.

Awesome. Clean. Parking not so far from the beach. Great restaurant. Clean washrooms.

Mostly sandy, very long beach. Often quite busy. Good quality of services but extremely expensive parking (I strongly recommend parking a bit further).

A lovely beach with closeby amenities. Parking at the designated spot was a short walk away. Sandy beach, not too busy a

Pretty good only in some places a little rocky

Too windy, crowded and dirty.

(Translated by Google) The soft route initiative is good but the practical side is a disaster. It's impossible to pass by bike without hitting your shin against the iron, but I imagine that the mayor has never been there to find a solution to this problem. Likewise when jogging, the barriers are very annoying and dangerous. The risk of injury is very high. All the people I have met on this gentle path are of the same opinion so perhaps it will be time to change this negative point... To make this gentle route more secure and passable. (Original) L'initiative de la voie douce est bonne mais le côté pratique est une catastrophe. Il est impossible de passer à vélo sans se prendre le tibia contre le fer mais j'imagine que le maire n'est jamais passé par là pour trouver une solution à ce problème. De même en faisant mon jogging, les barrières sont très gênantes et dangereuses. Le risque de blessures est très élevé. Toutes les personnes que j'ai croisé sur cette voie douce sont du même avis donc peut-être qu'il va être temps de changer ce point négatif... Pour rendre cette voie douce plus sécurisée et praticable.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent walk. Yes, it's a shared experience between walkers, joggers, bikers, dogs, and scooters, but this is the second time we've been here, and the coexistence is going well. Everything is well-landscaped, varied, flowery, and perfectly maintained. Apart from some areas overrun with dog poop. Several restrooms and water points along the route. However, be careful, there's nowhere to buy a snack or ice cream... plan ahead. We left from the city center with 2 hours of free parking. The journey begins above the boules pitch behind the hospital and arrived at the La Ciotat Ceyreste train station. Walking slowly and stopping to read the posters, it took us 1 hour and 45 minutes each way. Everything is beautiful...the locomotive at the beginning...the remains of the rail...at the Ceyreste stop, the level crossing barriers...the tunnel + the Ceyreste train station filled with posters of photos from this moment in cinema history. On the way back, night was falling, but the cycle path is lit. Why not start another time from a parking lot along the way, which is completely free, because this cycle path ultimately takes you right through La Ciotat. It's a superb walk, almost always in the sun...the path is really laid-back, a beautiful little trail that can be easily done in just sneakers. (Original) Une magnifique balade promenade. Oui c'est un partage entre les marcheurs les joggers les vélos les chiens les trottinette mais cela fait 2 fois que nous venons et la cohabitation se passe bien . Tout est bien aménagé varié fleuri et parfaitement entretenu . Hormis certains espaces envahi par les crottes de chien. Plusieurs toilettes et points d'eau tout le long du parcours . Par contre attention rien pour s'acheter un goûter ou une glace ...prévoyez. Nous sommes parti du centre ville avec 2h gratuite de parking , le trajet lui débute au dessus du terrain de boules derrière le centre hospitalier et arrivés à la gare de la ciotat ceyreste. En marchant cool et faisant des haltes pour lire les affiches nous avons mis 1h45 aller. Tout est beau ...la locomotive au début....les restes de rail ...à la halte de ceyreste les barrières de passage à niveau ...le tunnel + la gare de ceyreste rempli d'affichette de photos sur ce moment d'histoire du cinéma. Au retour la nuit tombait mais de soucis la voie douce est éclairée. Après pourquoi pas une autre fois partir d'un parking intermédiaire sur le trajet qui eux sont des parking totalement gratuit car cette voie douce au final vous fait traverser la ciotat de part en part. C'est une superbe balade quasi tout le temps au soleil ..le chemin est vraiment en mode cool un beau pti chemin qui se fait sans soucis en simple basket.

(Translated by Google) But what a beautiful layout. On the route of an old railway line with a history, 5.4 km long. It crosses the city. The slope is accessible to all. There are benches. On the tourist office website you will find an explanatory PDF and a map but it is impossible to get lost. You can either leave from the train station (free parking) or from the city center (paid parking). Allow 1.5 hours round trip on foot. You can also do it by bike. You will have to put your foot on the ground when passing through barriers but this is to avoid speeding, mopeds and thus sharing the space. It is a beautiful walk (Original) Mais quelle bel aménagement. Sur le tracé d'une ancienne voie de chemin de fer qui a une histoire, longue de 5,4km. Elle traverse la ville. La pente est accessible a tous. Il y a des bancs. Sur le site de office de tourisme vous trouverez un pdf explicatif et une carte mais impossible de se perdre. On peut soit partir de la gare parking gratuit soit du centre ville parking payant. Compter 1h30 aller-retour à pieds. On peut aussi le faire en vélo. Il faudra mettre le pied par terre au passage de barrières mais c'est ppur éviter la vitesse, les mobylettes et ainsi partager l'espace. Cest une belle balade

(Translated by Google) Nice and pleasant place. 5.4 km long path, ideal for walking, playing sports, or just relaxing. The place is safe even at night with numerous cameras and well-lit tunnels all along. Really a lot of fun to do. I recommend it! (Original) Endroit sympa et agréable. Voie de 5,4 km idéale pour se promener, faire du sport ou juste se poser. Endroit sécurisant même la nuit avec de nombreuses caméras et des tunnels bien éclairés tout le long. Vraiment très sympa à faire. Je recommande !

(Translated by Google) A lovely walking path that ends at the port of La Ciotat. We didn't walk all the way out of town, so unfortunately we didn't make it to the tunnel. Our parking space (small but free) was right next to an entrance to the path. (Original) Schöner Spazierweg, der am Hafen von La Ciotat endet. Wir sind ihn nicht komplett stadtauswärts gegangen, daher leider auch nicht bis zum Tunnel gekommen. Unser Parkplatz (klein aber gebührenfrei) lag genau neben einem Zugang zum Weg.

(Translated by Google) Too many different types of people on this "green path": scooters at full speed, bicycles, children, people running, people walking, dogs off leash... in short, anarchy! What's more, it crosses quite a few roads and is not at all suitable for bicycles when crossing, as you have to get off your bike every 300 meters! (Original) Trop de monde différent sur cette « voie douce »,trottinettes à pleine vitesse,vélo,enfant,gens qui courent,gens qui marche,chien non tenue en laisse…bref l’anarchie! De plus elle traverse pas mal de route et n’est pas du tout adapté pour les vélo pour les passages car obligé de descendre de vélo tout les 300 mètres!

(Translated by Google) When you arrive with the 157 bus and take the quiet lane on the side of the station, reorganize and understand the direction of the bridge. It would be good to specify at the entrance that the bridge is the end of the route. I asked and I turned around and then I took the right path to get to La Ciotat. The route is well monitored, but I find that they lack water points, which would be welcome, knowing that it's not necessarily shaded all the time. Otherwise, it's a very nice walk. I took the option leaving from Ceyreste station to get to La Ciotat, which takes 1.5 hours. I had kept the car in La Ciotat and we took the bus. (Original) Quand on arrive avec le bus 157 et que l'on prend la voix douce du côté de la gare réaménager et comprendre la direction du pont il serait bien de préciser à l'entrée que le pont c'est la fin du parcourjai du demander et j'ai fait demi-tour et là j'ai pris le bon chemin pour arriver à la Ciotat Le parcours est bien surveillé mais je trouve qu'ils manquent des points d'eau qui serait bienvenu sachant que c'est pas forcément tout le temps ombragé sinon très belle balade moi j'ai pris l'option départ la gare de ceyreste pour arriver à La Ciotat qui fait 1h30 j'avais gardé la voiture à La Ciotat et nous avons pris le bus

Disappointing! The pave’ de boeuf was poor quality. Not tender at all. The attitude of the waiter was inflated and unfriendly. The runner tried to accommodate us as best he could to save our experience from being awful! The view is why I gave it 2 stars! Expensive for what it was….

Nice people, amazing view, good food for a reasonable price. Must see.

The reception and service were very bad. We were 7 people, and as soon as we sat down, the staff started giving us a lecture, telling us in a rude way that each person had to order a dish. He added: ‘This is not a snack bar, this is a restaurant.’ He said all of this before even knowing what we wanted to order. Very impolite, arrogant, and it really ruined our experience.

Magic place! Recommend the sunset!

Super 👍

Superb place, Service and food

Nice little restaurant at the beach. We enjoyed the food here. The fish was good and fresh. The desserts were also good and the staff nice and attentive. In August is very crowded like every place around the calanques, but we got a table fast (without reservation)

Literally the best restaurant we ate at in La Ciotat! The food was insanely good, fresh and for the price - we literally couldn’t believe it! Also, the view of the Mediterranean while you eat was incredible.

A lovely bistro type restaurant in a fantastic setting overlooking the beach, bay and island. The service was quick and friendly, the food very good, and the prices very reasonable considering the wonderful setting. A 20 min walk from the Vieux-Port.

Exceptional location and excellent food! *No bank cards and quite far from an atm* Set on the beach in the lively little municipal park of Mugel, this restaurant is a solid bet for well prepared food. The menu is not particularly inventive, but the quality of the grilled fish and meats is excellent. The grilled vegetables are bursting with flavor and the quality is much better than one will find in such a lovely spot in most of the south of France. Definitely reserve ahead. For info, it is mostly open middays, except weekends and there are 2 services at lunch, so don't be late for your reservation or we will politely remind you that it is time to leave. On the bright side, the service is very quick and it is totally possible to have a relaxed meal in the time alotted. You can follow it with a stroll on the 2 beaches in the park or in the small botanical garden behind the restaurant. We've eaten here twice and will definitely be back. Friendly service.

Great place for food and drinks overlooking the beach

What a terrible experience!! Probably one of the worst restaurants I’ve ever had the displeasure of eating in! Everything from start to finish was disappointing definitely somewhere to avoid.

We had made a reservation and showed up in time. However we were told no reservation was made. Luckily we could prove we had called them the day before an talked for 3 minutes. The reservation than showed up but for the next day. They claimed we made a mistake but that was impossible since the day they claimed our reservation to be was the day we would leave France.. After insisting they found a solution. But we realised a little later that they just shifted the problem towards someone else. The service was rushed we had food literally 2 minutes after they served the apéritive. The food was OK though but definitely not matching with the apéritive. We ordered dessert and when asked if we'd like coffee we said yes but After dessert... Quite predictably coffee came with dessert and the bill we didn't ask for. Useless to say we would give a straight 0 stars if possible and we will not return. The view is gorgeous and they will always have full house despite bad reviews, that's OK but with refard to customer care they play in the lowest league just surviving through the location. So for the view its 8/10, 6/10 for the food, 2/10 for the location itself (furniture is functional but not cozy, décoration non existing) and 0/10 for service and customer care (sorry guys you screwed up it's inadmissible to ask us to change our plans, especially the way you did)

Super 👍

Is very good.

Good.

Excellent

Correct

(Translated by Google) Before accessing the Ciotat park you will discover 2 beaches (the large cove and the small cove) There is also a magnificent view point on a rock overlooking the seaside...a must see!! (Original) Avant d'accéder au parc de la Ciotat vous decouvrirez 2 plages (la grande anse et la petite anse) Il y a aussi un magnifique point de vue sur un rocher dominant le bord de mer...a voir absolument !!

(Translated by Google) A magnificent park with sumptuous walks where you can find yourself alone, even in the middle of summer. Honestly, the landscapes and colors are breathtaking. I recommend it to anyone passing through the area. (Original) Un parc magnifique des ballades somptueuses où lon se retrouve seul meme en plein été. Honnêtement les paysages st les couleurs sont a couper ke souffle je recommande a quiconque passe dans le coin.

It is a nice beautiful and quiet beach, but it takes Fifteen minutes to walk there.

The water was cristal clear at the contrary of others calanques of Bandol littoral where the water was really dirty...

Sheltered from the wind, always sunny, no car anywhere near.

Very cool !

Charming little beach with stones

(Translated by Google) Beach where you can go with dogs! Easy access by stairs and a very quiet cove, not many people go there. It is made of stones but you can stay there and there are many places of shade since there is a forest above. The water is transparent and calm. Ideal for snorkeling. Of all the ones we went to that allow pets, this is the one we liked the most! There is no problem parking near the path that leads to the cove for free. (Original) Playa donde se puede ir con perros! Fácil acceso por escaleras y cala muy tranquila no va mucha gente. Es de piedras pero se puede estar y hay muchos lugares de sombra ya que hay un bosque arriba. El agua es transparente y tranquila. Ideal para hacer snorkel. De todas las que fuimos que admiten mascotas está es la que más nos gustó! Se aparca sin problema cerca del camino que conduce a la cala gratis.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach but stony to get there, a bit steep on the descent but peaceful, we get there, not recommended for young children and strollers (Original) Belle plage mais caillouteuse pour y accéder un peu rude la descente mais tranquille on y arrive déconseillé aux jeunes enfants et poussette

Lovely view , rocky beach with lots of fish in the water.Quiet and peaceful during the week.Parking is free and available during the week.Crystal water 🥰.Only problem was some fly 🪰 in the morning and afternoon in rest evening was all right.

I love this beach. I've been coming here every summer since I was a child and the water is pretty much always clear, the beach isn't too full and it looks beautiful. It is a pebble and rock beach so if you find it difficult to get in and out of the water it's probably not great. There are also a few stairs you need to climb down then back up to get to the beach so be warned about that. But all in all, I strongly recommend

COol

Super!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful pebble cove with breathtaking views of La Ciotat and the Eagle's Beak. Not great for swimming because there is little depth and lots of rocks and pebbles, but it is quiet and romantic, especially in the evening. Easy, non-paying parking and to make the most of it, bring slippers to walk in the water (Original) Belle crique de galets avec vue imprenable sur la Ciotat et le bec de l'aigle. Pour se baigner pas génial car peu de fond et beaucoup de rochers et de galets, mais c'est tranquille et romantique surtout le soir. Parking facile et non payant et pour profiter au mieux prévoir des chaussons pour se balader dans l'eau

(Translated by Google) Lots of people in summer because the beach is small...be careful with pebbles and rocks only...ideal out of season!!! (Original) Beaucoup de monde en ete car la plage est petite....attention galets et rochers seulement....ideal hors saison!!!

(Translated by Google) Small stone beach on the edge of La Ciotat, without public toilets or restaurants. Quite clean, clear water. There aren't many parking spaces available. (Original) Kleiner Steinstrand am Rande von La Ciotat, ohne öffentliche Toiletten & Gastronomie. Dafür recht sauberes, klares Wasser. Parkplätze sind nicht viele vorhanden.

I do not recommend this beach or any other beach in Ciotat. The beach is very dirty and the city hall employees are very racist. The town hall of this city imposes some ridiculous rules. There is a beach for dogs which is very small, when we arrived it was already full and you had nowhere to sit and we went near this one, at Lumiere beach and sat down our my dog on some stones at the edge of the beach so as not to disturb anyone. The municipal police came immediately to bring in our attention that we are not allowed to sit on those stones or to be with the dog on this beach, and up just 1 meter away from where we were there were some benches (but in the sun) and we were allowed to stay there, but not on the stones where we sat. Before we stayed there, there were other people, but no one came to say something to them because they were French. It’s incredible as on the amazing beach like those of Saint Tropez-Ramatuelle, access with dogs is allowed everywhere, and on this mess of a beach they have set up only a tiny place where you are allowed with your dog. Not to mention that if you have a dog that is not very friendly around other dogs and barks continuously if it sits near them, you are left with no options. Shame on you Ciotat for this! Don't forget that most of the people who come here are tourists and you make a lot of money from that, but you don't know how to appreciate them, you chase them away. And by the way you should write in English on the warning signs because it is an international language and it’s not mandatory for everyone to know French!

(Translated by Google) Ideal beach for its fine, natural sand Too many people in summer, the beach is not a big enough shame. Surveillance by lifeguards, toilets and lockers to store your belongings, many bars and restaurants nearby. (Original) Plage idéale pour son sable fin et naturel Beaucoup trop de monde en été, la plage n' est pas assez grande dommage. Surveillance par les maîtres nageurs,toilettes et casiers pour y déposer vos affaires, de nombreux bars et restaurants à proximité.

(Translated by Google) Lumière beach in La Ciotat is a medium-sized family beach, stretching over around 200 meters of fine sand. It is ideal for safe swimming, with active surveillance during the summer season. The gentle slope of the beach makes it perfect for children, and it is also accessible to people with reduced mobility, thanks to ramps and adapted armchairs. On site, visitors can enjoy various services such as toilets, showers and children's play areas. The atmosphere is friendly and calm, partly thanks to the ban on smoking and the absence of dogs. Several restaurants and cafes are located nearby, allowing you to eat or refresh yourself. Access to the beach is easy, both on foot and by car, although parking can be limited, especially in high season, with paid spaces available nearby. The general atmosphere is pleasant, and the beach offers a setting conducive to relaxation while remaining well equipped to meet the needs of visitors. It is a perfect place to have a good time with family or friends. (Original) La plage Lumière à La Ciotat est une plage familiale de taille moyenne, s'étendant sur environ 200 mètres de sable fin. Elle est idéale pour les baignades en toute sécurité, avec une surveillance active durant la saison estivale. La pente douce de la plage la rend parfaite pour les enfants, et elle est également accessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite, grâce à des rampes et des fauteuils adaptés. Sur place, les visiteurs peuvent profiter de divers services tels que des toilettes, des douches et des aires de jeux pour les enfants. L’atmosphère est conviviale et calme, en partie grâce à l’interdiction de fumer et à l’absence de chiens. Plusieurs restaurants et cafés sont situés à proximité, permettant de se restaurer ou de se rafraîchir. L'accès à la plage est facile, tant à pied qu'en voiture, bien que le stationnement puisse être limité, surtout en haute saison, avec des places payantes disponibles aux alentours. L’ambiance générale est agréable, et la plage offre un cadre propice à la détente tout en restant bien équipée pour répondre aux besoins des visiteurs. C'est un endroit parfait pour passer un bon moment en famille ou entre amis.

(Translated by Google) Very nice supervised and free beach. Accessible for people with reduced mobility. Non-smoking beach, quiet, clean, paid parking in the parallel streets, many shops nearby, ice cream, waffles... correct water temperature. Small downside: you can smell a bit of the smell of big boats since it is close to the CIotat port. (Original) Très bel plage surveillée et gratuite. Accessible pour les personnes à mobilité réduite. Plage Non fumeur, calme, propre, parking payante dans les rues parallèle, beaucoup commerce à proximité, glace, gaufre... température de l’eau correcte.

(Translated by Google) excellent beach to spend the summer, there are sports activities for the whole family! (Original) excellente plage pour passer l'été, il y a des activités sportives pour toute la famille !

(Translated by Google) Pleasant beach despite some rather unpleasant algae on the feet (bring shoes if you are stressed) In short, nice beach with beautiful blue pigeons (that's where I am lol) Friendly kisses, DJ Mylo (turntable tonight in your party room) (Original) Plage agréable malgré quelques algues assez désagréable au pied (prévoir des chaussures si vous stressé) Bref plage sympa avec de beaux pigeons bleues (c'est la que je suis lol) Bises amicales, DJ Mylo (au platine ce soir dans ta salle des fêtes)

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful beach. Accessible. Possibility of having a drink at the water's edge. (Original) Très belle plage. Accessible. Possibilité de boire un verre au bord de l'eau.

Lovely beach with sand, and a nice long gently drop to deeper water perfect for ball sports. Also, there's plenty of parking available along the streets in high season. The sand was crowded as you would expect, but nothing as extreme as other locations we've seen this 2023 season. A star was taken off as the water was unusually salty today - in the end it really hurt the eyes, although that was 3 hours into our stay 🤣

Water is clean and calm. Perfect for swimming and families. Do note the beachfront is small and it can get packed with people.

White sand and turquoise waters, shower on the beach, lots of food options and parking places on the streets around.

Nice beach but often over crowded

Few space and parking fee

(Translated by Google) La Grande Plage de la Ciotat is one of the most beautiful beaches in the region, offering an idyllic setting between turquoise sea and surrounding mountains. Located near the city center, it is easily accessible and very busy, especially during the summer season. Its wide expanse of fine sand allows you to relax in the sun, practice water sports or take a walk by the sea. Another attraction of the beach is its infrastructure, which includes restaurants, cafes and shops, perfect for a full day by the sea. The landscape, with its calm and clear waters, is a true haven of peace for families, groups of friends or couples looking for relaxation. However, the popularity of the Grande Plage leads to high crowds, particularly in summer, which can make the area noisier and less pleasant. Additionally, like many urban beaches, cleanliness can sometimes be tested due to crowds. Despite this, the Grande Plage de la Ciotat remains an essential place for those who wish to enjoy the charms of the Mediterranean while being close to urban amenities. (Original) La Grande Plage de la Ciotat est l’une des plus belles plages de la région, offrant un cadre idyllique entre mer turquoise et montagnes environnantes. Située à proximité du centre-ville, elle est facilement accessible et très fréquentée, surtout pendant la saison estivale. Sa large étendue de sable fin permet à la fois de se détendre au soleil, de pratiquer des sports nautiques ou de se promener en bord de mer. Un autre attrait de la plage réside dans ses infrastructures, qui comprennent des restaurants, des cafés et des boutiques, parfaits pour une journée complète en bord de mer. Le paysage, avec ses eaux calmes et claires, est un véritable havre de paix pour les familles, les groupes d’amis ou les couples en quête de détente. Cependant, la popularité de la Grande Plage entraîne une forte affluence, particulièrement en été, ce qui peut rendre l’espace plus bruyant et moins agréable. De plus, comme beaucoup de plages urbaines, la propreté peut parfois être mise à l’épreuve à cause de la fréquentation. Malgré cela, la Grande Plage de la Ciotat demeure un lieu incontournable pour ceux qui souhaitent profiter des charmes de la Méditerranée tout en étant à proximité des commodités urbaines.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach, very well located, sand, no rocks. Just be careful, alcoholic beverages, cigarettes (including electronic cigarettes), pets, music, etc. are prohibited. Most of the beach is closed off by kiosks and chair rentals. (Original) Praia linda, muito bem localizada, areia, sem pedras. Só atenção, é proibido bebidas alcoólicas, cigarro ( inclusive eletrônico), animais de estimação, música, etc. A maior parte é fechada pelos quiosques e aluguel de cadeiras.

However, it remains very busy when the sea is calm, because it retains a certain charm and very clean water. (Original) Difficile d'accès et étroite, la plage a subi une érosion très importante depuis 30 ans.

(Translated by Google) Nice bathing bay (Calanque). The water is extremely clear everywhere and caves and bays in the immediate vicinity invite you to explore. It's worth taking the first ferry to Île Verte at 9 a.m. Then the island is still pretty empty. The 10-minute crossing costs almost €50 for a family with 2 children but it was worth it. (Original) Nette Badebucht (Calanque). Das Wasser ist überall extrem klar und Höhlen und Buchten in direkter Nähe laden zum Erkunden ein. Es lohnt Sicht, die erste Fähre um 09 Uhr auf die Île Verte zu nehmen. Dann ist die Insel noch recht leer. Die 10-Minuten Überfahrt kostet für eine Familie mit 2 Kindern fast 50€ aber das war es wert.

(Translated by Google) La Plageolle, located on the peaceful Île Verte off the coast of La Ciotat, is a small, discreet but very popular cove. It's one of three accessible calanques on the island, with a beach approximately 30 meters long, composed of pebbles and sand. The environment is completely natural, surrounded by pine trees and cliffs, with clear water ideal for swimming or snorkeling. To get there, you need to take a boat shuttle from the Vieux Port of La Ciotat (a 10- to 15-minute journey). Once you disembark at the island, a small path takes you to La Plageolle in a few minutes. There are no facilities on site: no shade, no trash cans, and no restaurant. Therefore, you must come equipped with water, a hat, and something to take home with you. It's a quiet and unspoiled spot, perfect for a relaxing day, away from the noise of the city. In summer, the beach fills up quickly due to limited space. It's best to arrive with the first morning shuttles. The view of the sea and La Ciotat is superb, and the overall atmosphere invites you to completely disconnect. A simple, authentic, and relaxing place. (Original) La Plageolle, située sur la paisible Île Verte au large de La Ciotat, est une petite crique discrète mais très appréciée. C’est l’une des trois calanques accessibles de l’île, avec une plage d’environ 30 mètres de long, composée de galets et de sable. L’environnement est totalement naturel, entouré de pins et de falaises, avec une eau claire idéale pour la baignade ou le snorkeling. Pour y accéder, il faut prendre une navette en bateau depuis le Vieux Port de La Ciotat (trajet de 10 à 15 minutes). Une fois débarqué à l’île, un petit sentier permet d’atteindre la Plageolle en quelques minutes. Il n’y a pas d’aménagements sur place : ni ombre, ni poubelle, ni restaurant. Il faut donc venir équipé, avec de l’eau, un chapeau et de quoi ramener ses déchets. C’est un lieu calme et sauvage, parfait pour une journée de détente, loin du bruit de la ville. En été, la plage est vite pleine car l’espace est limité. Il vaut mieux arriver avec les premières navettes du matin. La vue sur la mer et La Ciotat est superbe, et l’ambiance générale invite à la déconnexion totale. Un endroit simple, authentique et reposant.
