Marseille beaches

Marseille is a seaside resort and a seaside resort that respects itself, has to have many beaches to accommodate all tourists. There are more than thirty in Marseilles intramural, but there are also in the immediate periphery of the city and they deserve that we pay all our attention to it.Let's take a look at the beaches of Carry-le-Rouet and Sausset-les-Pins, some thirty kilometers west of Marseille. To get there, take a short 30-minute drive via the A55 motorway or take the train from Marseille Saint-Charles station and take 1 hour Sausset or Carry-le-Rouet.The area in which Carry-le-Rouet and Sausset-les-Pins are located is the so-called "Côte Bleue", also encompassing the Estaque district, which is attached to the 16th arrondissement of Marseille. There is also a calanque to discover here, that of the Rove. The activity highly recommended on this side of the Marseilles agglomeration is the diving in the Marine Park of Carry-le-Rouet, discovering extraordinary seabed.Let us return to the beaches and what differentiates those of Carry from those of Sausset. Basically, the first ones are largely made of sand while there are more pebble beaches in the second commune. However, whether in one of these places, these beaches are breathtakingly beautiful. Moreover, apart from popular swimming spots, there are also several "hidden" beaches at the bottom of the coves and it is accessed only by small hiking trails.Carry-le-Rouet and Sausset-les-Pins are excellent alternatives to the calanques to the south of Marseille. There are exactly the same things, that is to say coves sheltering magnificent beaches and small fishing harbors with their small cabanons. The difference is at the level of attendance, the creeks of the southern districts being often crowded while here, in the northwest, it is less bubbling.The only downside is that there is not much entertainment in Carry-le-Rouet and Sausset, even in the summer. As mentioned above, the main leisure activity here is diving. Otherwise, there are hikes and lazing at the beach. Despite everything, it is good to venture into this area the time of a day that will remain engraved in the memory as being one of the most beautiful, spent in Provence.
