First of all Calanque de Port Pin (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 Calanque de Port Pin 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.

The walk to get here is quite scenic, but it's important to remember to bring water. Although the beach is quite rocky and the ocean is not visible, there are plenty of enjoyable spots to relax and take in the surroundings, whether it's right by the water or on the rocks nearby.

Please be aware that there are currently many jellyfish in the bay that can cause poisoning, so swimming is not recommended. However, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding are still possible activities. The beach itself is quite rocky, but overall it is a pleasant spot.

The beach gets quite crowded in August but there are some great hiking trails with beautiful viewpoints along the blue line.

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.

The beach is stunning, although the water temperature is slightly cooler compared to other beaches in the Mediterranean. Nonetheless, it is a very serene and calming spot.
