It's a shame that the oil refinery detracts from the otherwise lovely view.

The beach is peaceful with a low number of visitors, and one can enjoy the view of liners off in the distance. It's a small but serene beach.

The beach is rocky and not very crowded, but it's not very pleasant to see the large boats nearby.

The beach is clean and not too crowded, but the entrance to the sea is challenging due to slippery stones. It's still a great place to visit, but unfortunately, there are no facilities such as toilets or changing rooms.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Plage des Ours (Bouches-du-Rhone) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Plage des Ours (Bouches-du-Rhone) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Plage des Ours for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
