This cozy inlet, protected from the mistral and westerly winds, offers a serene and enjoyable experience, although it can be less so during east or southeast winds. It's advisable to wear water shoes, but the water is usually very clear. However, the scenery has been altered following the 2020 fire.

This beach has small, clean rocks and pebbles, but unfortunately there is a lot of garbage at the edge near a decent car park. Despite this, there aren't many people and the scenery is stunning at both sunrise and sunset. It's important to wear bathing shoes as the rocks can be quite slippery and potentially dangerous.

The beach boasts stunning views, is well-maintained and offers multiple spots for visitors to sunbathe and take a dip in the water.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Plage Crique (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 Crique (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 Crique 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.
