The beach is charming but on the smaller side, so it's best to arrive early to secure a spot. The water is delightful for swimming and there are fish to observe. Keep in mind that it's a pebble beach.

This is a lovely spot in La Ciotat, and the beach has a more intimate feel than the nearby white sand beaches. It's a small pebble beach with supervised swimming starting at 9 am, but it's best to arrive early to secure a good spot. Unfortunately, I have concerns about the water quality on some days, which is disappointing. Additionally, despite the presence of many trash cans, the beach is not always very clean. Parking can also be a hassle and quite expensive.

This place is a stunning paradise. The water here is not only fresh but also incredibly clear and transparent.
