The name of the beach is linked to a famous opera singer, Jean-Vital Jammes, known as Ismaël, who performed Meyerbeer's "Le Prophète" at the Marseille Opera in 1856. In 1861, the singer bought a villa in the Roucas-Blanc district, the Villa Ismaël, which overlooks the Corniche. Rumor has it that the baritone often rehearsed on the beach, and so it was named in his honor.
