About

La Plageolle is located on the Mediterranean Sea and it is in the 53th place out of 59 beaches in the Bouches-du-Rhone region 25 km away from its center, the city of Marsylia. It is one of the beaches of La Ciotat settlement, just 1.8 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, surrounded by the cliffs. It is partially covered by trees which give natural shade.

It is a tiny bay with crystal turquoise water and gray sand & pebble cover, so it is recommended to wear special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

La Plageolle coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

Getting to the beach is quite simple: just take a short walk along the trail.

6 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is La Ciotat plage, which has a rating of 7.7.

La Plageolle (Bouches-du-Rhone) region (French Riviera sub-region) is located outside the La Ciotat settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Verte island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

It's a lovely little cove, and it's quite secluded with hardly any people around.

The bathing bay (Calanque) is lovely, with crystal clear water and plenty of caves and bays to discover nearby. It's definitely worth catching the first ferry at 9am to Île Verte, as the island is less crowded at that time. Although the cost of almost 50€ for a family with two children may seem steep, it's worth it for the experience.

4 Frustrating

The beach is not recommended as it tends to attract a lot of tourists and the area is not very safe. Additionally, there is no privacy and the beach itself is quite small and covered in pebbles, which can be uncomfortable to walk on. It's important to make a reservation at the restaurant ahead of time as it can be difficult to find a spot to eat or drink otherwise. Despite these drawbacks, the view from the beach is quite beautiful.
