Corbières beaches – l’Estaque
A mythical part of town, this is where you’ll find the only beaches in the northern districts, preceded by landscaped gardens and a municipal water sports center. Three beaches follow one another, all with lifeguards and easy access. Shallow and partly shaded, they are made of fine sand and pebbles, with sanitary facilities, showers and a free clothes locker. Perfect for families! Nearby you’ll find a refreshment bar and a volleyball court. There are also picnic areas and sports and creative activities on offer.
You’ll be able to admire a beautiful panorama of the Marseilles coastline.
Between swims, you can take a stroll through the village of l’Estaque, a source of inspiration for many artists and painters, including Cézanne, Dufy and Renoir, and also the setting for Robert Guédiguian’s film “Marius et Jeannette”. True Provencal and Marseillaise authenticity!
And you’ll feel it on your plate, too, with the famous “Chichis Frégis” or panisses to savor after an afternoon of lounging.
