  • There are 30 visitor mooring buoys which you pick up and take a long line ashore. It is worth going ashore and walking up the hill for the amazing views. Not to be missed if you are sailing in this...

  • Stunning views. The hiking paths are very uneven, slippery and tons of loose rocks. Wear proper footwear (close toe shoes). Bring water, hat, sunscreen. There are no toilets on the trails. Trails can take 2-3 hrs to complete. Large parking area near the start of the trails. No cost to park or hike. We even saw a tall ship in the distance. See photo.
  • Very good spot for swimming but there is NO sand on the beach its made with natural polished stones. There is 3 calanque there and i recommend it all and take atleast 2 bottle of water and sun cream
  • an amazing place to say the least. you can go on a boat tour where there are different hours options, also rent a canoe and swim.
  • Amazing and easily accessible spot. Yet I would recommend Calanque den Vau if you can visit. It is smaller but cleaner and even more spectacular
  • Put on your best pair of hiking shoes but first, find a 🅿️ space, which is going to be a challenge. March is not even the high season yet. From the gate (which is locked), it’s a walk of at least 1km to the location where you have the best view of the calanque. Along the way, you can catch a glimpse of the marina where yachts are moored. When you reach the end (entrance to the marina) is where your cameras will never stop clicking. Have a spare power bank at hand. Views here and beyond is spectacular. At one point you will come to a place where the calanque meets the sea. This is also where you could see the rocky outcrop and part of the bay where Cassis sits. Next, your knees will have to take a small beating. It’s an approximate 500 meters hike up a trail (ascending) with sharp rocks to a vantage point of Calanque de Port-Miou. We were in awe. There’s another surprise which will greet you when you reach the this steep rocky top. You will see Calanque de Port Pin down below, on the other side. It is a steep descend to the small patch of beach. The walk and the hike was all worth it. Take a rest, take some photos or dip your feet into the water. Take it all in. There was already a small crowd, when we arrived. Then while you are doing that, think of the long walk back to your vehicle. 😂😂😂. Note: Extreme caution is required when hiking during rainy weather. There are lots of weathered stone surfaces which are slippery.
