Calanque de Sormiou

Very beautiful

Calanque de Port Pin
10 Samantha T

This place is absolutely amazing and definitely worth the 45-minute walk (and a bit of a climb down at the end). I visited on a July weekend around 9:00-9:30am and there were only a few people there at that time, making it very peaceful. The snorkeling was great as well - the water was shallow but there were plenty of fish to see. I even spotted three octopuses very close to the shore. In my opinion, it's even better than Calangue d'en Vau, although it's a bit more humble and smaller. Just make sure to bring plenty of water in the summer (1.5-2 liters per person), especially if you plan on continuing on to d'en Vau.

This is my third year spending my vacation in this city that I hold dear to my heart, and I absolutely love it!

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.

Sauvage de Morgiou

This beach is situated in a small village that's perfect for sailing but challenging to drive. The beauty of the place will leave you in awe and captivate your senses. It's like stepping into another world. The locals are friendly, and the food is delicious. You'll feel like a part of the community. However, if you're not an experienced driver or have a large car, be cautious of the narrow, rocky road. Have fun!
