Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Prado Beaches welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing.

We went to this beach in mid-November and had a wonderful day with our dogs. The water was shallow enough for them to swim comfortably. However, it's important to note that during the summer or high season, dogs may not be allowed on the beach. On the downside, the beach and sea were quite dirty with plastic littered everywhere. Additionally, some visitors left behind their trash after having lunch or spending time with their children, including plastic, tissues, and even diapers.

The beach was stunning, even in the early evening when there were still people swimming and lounging around. We took a leisurely stroll along the shore and treated ourselves to some delicious gelato. However, we decided not to dine at the beach due to the steep prices. Plages du Prado is the collective name for the beaches located in the southern part of Marseille, France. This seaside park was constructed by Gaston Defferre in the late 1970s as an artificial coastal development.

I visited a beach that I would not recommend. Unfortunately, there was an abundance of plastic waste, tissues, and other types of litter scattered around. Additionally, I noticed that food waste had been buried in the sand and there were even cigar butts present. The pollution was not limited to the beach, as the water was also heavily contaminated.

The beach is lined with large stones making it challenging to access the water. Due to its central location in Marseille, it tends to be crowded with people. Finding a spot next to the water can be difficult, and homeless children often approach visitors for money. It's not an ideal spot for a relaxing day at the beach as it requires a bit of a walk to get there. Additionally, parking is a nightmare with limited space and people parking their cars haphazardly.
