The beach boasts stunning scenery and a pleasant pebble shoreline. However, it would greatly benefit from additional hiking trails or at least clear directions to any existing paths.

The natural beauty of this beach deserves four stars, but unfortunately the crowds during high season only warrant one star. When we visited in late August, it was incredibly crowded. There is a restaurant located near the steps leading down to the beach, but be careful when using them - I slipped because I didn't use the proper steps. There is a car park before the entrance, but both times we visited it was full. The area isn't the cleanest due to the crowds leaving a mess, so it's probably better to visit during off season.

The calanque is quite unique and interesting. Whenever I visit Laciota, it reminds me of Figuerolles. If you're a fan of nature, I highly recommend having a picnic at Figuerolles.
