Plage de Portissol
10 Hannah Milo

The scenery at the beach is absolutely beautiful, and the bay is well protected. The hotel and restaurant at the bar are also quite nice.

Prado Beaches
6 Lila the Wandering Pup

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 sand has a darker hue which makes me hesitant to bring my kids along. However, it's conveniently located near my place. It's best to avoid the beach after heavy rainfall.

Plage du Jai
6 Ronan Rendell

The water was teeming with sea grass and crabs 🦀, and unfortunately, I couldn't find a restroom or a place to store my belongings. However, the breathtaking sight of the sunset against the backdrop of airplanes ✈️ landing one after another was absolutely incredible!

Plage de la Grande Mer

There were jellyfish present in the water and no warnings provided on the beach. While the police seemed to be diligent in enforcing parking regulations, there was a noticeable absence of a lifeguard. Perhaps Cassis should consider reassessing its priorities.
