Sormiou beach

When we talk about tourism in Marseille, we think of the sun, the beach and also the creeks. There are places in the city that combine all this and among them there is the Sormiou. On your way to Luminy, in the south of the city, you are just a stone's throw from a beautiful beach, at the bottom of a creek and surrounded by the majestic calanques of Marseille.The Sormiou is right in the heart of the National Park of the calanques of Marseille. As a result, the regulations that govern it are those of the park. One of these specific rules relates to access to premises. In spring and summer, cars are not allowed in the calanques, so you have to reach the beach on foot from Luminy.If this seems to be a brake in the eyes of some, for many it is an asset of Sormiou, allowing to combine hikes and leisure at the beach. Moreover, by taking the hiking paths leading to the beach, tourists can admire the splendor of the rocky massifs of the calanques and enjoy a magnificent view of the open sea, the coves and other elements of the landscape.Once on the beach of Sormiou, we are breathtaking, not because of the walk we just made, but rather because of the magnificent discovery that we make from the start: a sandy beach at the bottom of A creek, bordered by cliffs with white rocks and steep slopes, overlooking a crystal-clear sea. It is simply a paradise place, it feels totally out of Marseille.To add even more charm to this place, here is a picturesque little port with fishermen's cabins, colored small boats moored along the quay and small restaurants feet in the water. In this postcard decor, beach lovers indulge in lazing on the warm sand of the beach or take advantage of the good weather to take a dip in the water.
