If you are staying in Marseille, I recommend getting up earlier and taking the train to Cassis. Cassis is also much more beautiful in the morning when there are not many people. During the day, when we returned from the hike, the city was unenjoyable because of the crowds. We traveled by train from Marseille at 6:29AM, we were in Cassis at 6:53AM. You can buy a ticket online, it costs €6.90. Cassis station is far from the center. That's why I recommend taking the bus. When we got off the train, there was already a bus at the station that left at 7:05AM. Drive to the stop Belsunce. You can buy a ticket from the driver, it costs €0.90. From the stop, you have to walk around 30 minutes to Calanque de Port-Miou, where the trail started. Walk up to the Calanque de Port Pin and then the roads split. I highly recommend taking the blue path that leads up the cliff. It is considered more difficult, but I do not agree with it. It is not as difficult as many write. Perhaps not recommended with small children, as the trail is dangerously high in the cliffs. We took the easiest (red) way back - it is shorter. The "easy" or red trail goes all the way up the hill, there are no straight (gentle slope) parts. You can only see the forest. On the "steep" or blue trail, you will see amazing views from the top. At times there are steep and rocky parts of the trail, but then a straight and easier part follows. The views are worth it. The walk takes about 1.5-2 hours (including photo and drink breaks). The hike is also easier early in the morning because it's not too hot. There are few people on the beach in the morning. Unfortunately, be prepared that it may happen to you, as it did to us. We traveled a long way from Latvia to swim, celebrate our anniversary and spend a beautiful day at this beach, but after a 2-hour walk men in kayaks told us that the park was closed today due to a fire warning and we had to go back. The day was not hot, around 26 degrees. But there was wind. It's strange that no one was there and didn't warn us at the beginning of the trail in the morning. We weren't the only ones whose heart was broken. The "easy" red trail led down the hill and in about 15/20 minutes we were back at the Calanque de Port Pin. At least we managed to swim there, sunbathe and enjoy the view for about an hour until the staff arrived and asked everyone to leave this beach as well. Walking out of the trail around 12:00, we were already greeted by the staff who explained again that unfortunately the park is closed today. Overall, we are happy that we saw all the wonderful views, the hike is worth it and not as difficult as many write (we are not professionals and we don't hike often by the way). The fact that it wasn't hot certainly had a lot to do with it. Of course, a little bitterness has remained that the day did not turn out as we planned. Sorry for my english, i tried, hope it helps someone.

Lovely hiking with great views! The last descending part might be challenging for beginners or people not wearing the proper hiking shoes. We are used to it as we hike in Pyrénées and also climbers ourselves, so it's rather normal terrain for us.

Very nice. If you want to chill take the blue walk. If you are good in exercises and body condition, take the red. It’s way faster In total expect to walk between 6/7 km from the city center of cassis it’s very tiring. Bring minimum 1,5L of water with you. Below that you will have a hard time. Use sneakers with grip, airforce and other will make you like difficult there.

Beautiful place, crystal clear water. May be worth starting your walk from port miou to get the view from the top on the way but I'm sure the parking is easier if you start from the route gineste. Can still walk up to a higher viewpoint if you wish. There are some jellyfish in the water , so watch out.

Moderate-intense hike to reach this beautiful Calanque. Bring water with you and wear trekking shoes! Sit on the left side when you arrive, as the sun will stay there longer.

Avoid it with childrens and beware of jelly fish here. Too much crowded. Take scenic route to the beach one time and take short route other time. Take enough water with you also food.

This has to be one of my favourite places. It is absolutely stunning! I got to the Calanque at around 9am and there was barely anyone there. I recommend getting there early as it started to get busy at around 10am. The water was so clear that I could see fish swimming below. I chose to do the longer hike to get to it which was very scenic and beautiful!

The most picturesque lagoon in France that I have visited. Bring a kayak and enjoy! Visit earlier in the day, it gets shady in the afternoon.

Wonderful place worth the long walk! During summer you'll have to park close to Port Miou and then follow the green signs. Bring water and NO flip flops!!

BE CAREFUL, MANY PEOPLE GET ROBBED THERE. THE PARKING SPOT IS NOT SAFE. WE LOST ALL OUR BAGS AND BELONGINGS BECAUSE THEY BROKE INTO OUR CAR! THEY TAKE WHOLE SUITCASES WITH DIRTY LAUNDRY OUT OF THE TRUNK..

(Translated by Google) Tested this wonderful month of July 2018 we tried our first cove on friendly recommendation. After discussion with the locals, and looking for that of Sormiou, it is on the side of Cassis that we were able to park. Beware of the high in the summer fire barriers prohibit cars all access and it is necessary to walk near 1:30 under the burning sun to get there. The top is to have bikes or to like the long hike. And in these cases it is better to leave very early in the morning to enjoy because the trip even for athletes at a very good pace will take 3 hours to and from. Having passed by the bottom we skirted a crowded track of world to reach the cove of the green track with rocks and a nice little point of jump to 10 m of height in a very fresh water. Then a track, red which will lead 15min later to the small cove of Port Pin with 60cm of water on average. Small beach of pebbles and rocks, very cloudy water because of the sand and the crowd that soaks the feet. But especially too many people, so we continued our road to the blue track ... which leads to En Vaux ....... but takes more than an hour of intensive walking, climbing and dangerous descent in climbing mode. Suffice to say that the sneakers of the most athletic are in order but especially not the cooler and beer. Otherwise it is better to come by boat or kayak which is rented 50 € a day. Arrives up we finally got lost some time. Because the course is not always perfectly visible. You have to go around the thalweg counter-clockwise until you find a steep slope. Fortunately in the afternoon several people make the opposite way. This allowed us to find this steep slope to descend on the path of the creek. Arrived 20 minutes later after helping others to climb, we just fell on a beautiful scenery in heaven! A perfectly clear water, wonderful silver fish that we see above the surface, a damn fresh mother because the creek is oriented to the east so often hidden from the sun, and a beach of beautiful pebbles clean with the privileged and many foreigners who have managed to come here. The only regret is the fresh water, even very very fresh because of this lack of permanent sun, but everything else is worth a hundred times the trouble. (-1 half-star for lovers of hot water like me) In short a dream realized thanks to this dear "Clara" but especially a calanque of dream which was worth all these hours of walk !!! (Original) Testé ce merveilleux mois de Juillet 2018 nous avons tenté notre première calanque sur recommandation amicale. Après discussion avec les gens du coin, et en cherchant celle de Sormiou, c’est du côté de Cassis que nous avons pu nous garer. Attention par le haut en plein été les barrières coupe-feu interdisent aux voitures tout accès et il faut donc marcher près d’ 1h30 sous le soleil brulant pour y arriver. Le top c’est d'avoir des vélos ou d’aimer la randonnée longue. Et dans ces cas-là mieux vaut partir très tôt le matin pour en profiter car le trajet même pour des sportifs à très bon rythme prendra 3h aller et retour. Étant passé par le bas nous avons longé une piste bondée de monde pour atteindre la calanque de la piste verte avec des roches et un p'tit point sympa de saut a 10 m de haut dans une eau bien fraiche. Ensuite une piste, rouge qui mènera 15min plus tard a la petite calanque de Port Pin avec 60cm d’eau en moyenne. Petite plage de cailloux et rochers, eau très trouble a cause du sable et de la foule qui trempe les pieds. Mais surtout trop de monde, nous avons donc continué notre route pour la piste bleu…qui mène a En Vaux.......mais prend plus d'une heure de marche intensive, de grimpette et de descente dangereuse en mode escalade. Autant dire que les baskets des plus sportifs sont de mise mais surtout pas la glacière et les bières. Sinon mieux vaut venir en bateau ou en kayak qui se loue 50 € la journée. Arrives-en haut nous nous sommes finalement perdus quelques temps. Car le parcours n’est pas toujours parfaitement visible. Il faut faire le tour du talweg dans le sens anti-horaire jusqu’à trouver une pente abrupte. Heureusement en après-midi plusieurs personnes font le trajet inverse. Ce qui nous a permis de trouver cette pente raide pour descendre sur le chemin de la calanque. Arrivés 20 minutes plus tard après avoir aidé les autres à grimper, nous sommes juste tombés sur un décor magnifique au paradisiaque !!! Une eau parfaitement limpide, de merveilleux poisson argentés que l'on voit au-dessus de la surface, une mère sacrément fraîche car la calanque est orientée vers l’est donc souvent caché du soleil, et une plage de magnifiques galets propres avec les privilégiés et beaucoup d’étrangers qui auront réussi à venir jusqu'ici. Le seul regret c’est l’eau fraiche, meme tres tres fraiche a cause de ce manque de soleil permanent, mais tout le reste vaut cents fois la peine. (-1 demi-etoile pour les amoureux de l’eau chaude comme moi) Bref un rêve réalisé grâce à cette chère "Clara" mais surtout une calanque de rêve qui valait bien toutes ces heures de marche !!!

Beautiful place, but don’t go there with a car with licence plate not from France. Car window was broken when we got back to the car and they stole out of the car whatever they found. Had a lovely day nevertheless.

The place is super nice, I visited it in November and it was very nice, with hardly any people. The low score is due to the fact that they BROKE the window of the car I had rented in an attempt to STEAL it. I had parked it in the car park next to the road and it was in a visible place. It was not the only car, so it is quite common. In my case they didn't steal anything, but they did make my holiday a bitter one. So please try to go by bus to this place, to avoid it. You will never be safe leaving your car parked there

(Translated by Google) It is the most beautiful of the creeks but walking filters the lucky ones. Once there he does not make you be agoraphobic. But the views are fantastic (Original) C est la plus belle des calanques mais la marche filtre les heureux élus. Une fois sur place il ne fait pas être agoraphobe. Mais les panorama sont fantastiques

Unreal beach - my favourite yet. Gorgeous water that’s even more beautiful than the pictures. Make sure to take any rubbish you bring home with you to keep it pristine!

(Translated by Google) You have to like walking to get there, but it's worth it. It is very beautiful ! (Original) Il faut aimer la marche pour y aller, mais ça vaut le coup. C'est très beau !

A long hard walk, don't get there too late in the day as the sun doesn't hit it for very long out of the summer time. Be prepared ; lots of water and good walking shoes. Some people say not to let children do the walk, but I saw plenty of kids doing the walk, but keep an eye on them.

(Translated by Google) Very nice cove the way is long everything depends on where we go because there are several paths damage there is no plan so if I can help you I would say 70 minutes to 120 minutes to go everything depends on the road speed and breaks. Must be a minimum sports and in good condition provide you with water and good sneakers it's pretty physical it goes up and it goes down there is no water or toilets on the road. are loaded it's even harder but in return it's a pleasure to have done (15 km round trip) (Original) Très belle calanque le chemin est long tout dépend par où on passe car il y a plusieurs chemins dommage il n’y a pas de plan donc si je peux vous aider je dirais 70 minutes à 120 minutes pour aller tout dépend de la route la vitesse et les pauses .faut être un minimum sportif et en bonne condition munissez vous d’eau et de bonnes baskets c’est assez physique ça monte et ça descend il n’y a aucun point d’eau ni toilettes sur la route .si vous êtes chargé c’est encore plus dur mais au retour c’est un plaisir de l’avoir fait (15 kms aller-retour)

Beautiful place Overcrowded during the day Come early morning by 3h loop trail or by kayaking

(Translated by Google) Visit this afternoon of the creeks of Marseille and Cassis with the family, and we found it beautiful and both intriguing. Navigation 4am in the morning with a stop on the island of Friuli and 1:30 in the afternoon to visit the old port of Marseille. Small, soft B, a bit long for young children. But otherwise I strongly recommend ?? (Original) Visite cette après midi des calanques de Marseille et Cassis avec la famille,et nous avons trouvé ça magnifique et à la fois intriguant. Navigation de 4h le matin avec un arrêt sur l'île de Frioul et de 1h30 l'après-midi pour visiter le vieux port de Marseille. Petit B mol,un peu long pour les enfants en bas âge. Mais sinon je recommande vivement ??

(Translated by Google) The MAGNIFICENT place. To get there on foot is a bit difficult, but when you arrive you receive the reward, a very beautiful landscape! (Original) L'endroit MAGNIFIQUE. Pour y arriver à pied c'est un peu difficile, mais en arrivant on reçoit la récompense, un très beau paysage!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place, worth the walk. I recommend it to everyone who wants to go, take water, snorkel (there is living water there), go tennis because the region is very steep and with a lot of stones. (Original) Lugar maravilhoso, vale a pena a caminhada. Recomendo a todos que quiserem ir, levar água, snorkel (lá contém água viva), ir de tênis pois a região é bem íngrime e com bastante pedras.

It just takes 1.5hrs from the center of Cassis. My kids(10, 7 years old) did it well. Fancy hiking shoes or equipment are not needed(I even wore a pair of outdoor sandals). Exploring this place was the only reason why I came to Cassis. There are a few cliff jump points about 8meters high. Highly recommand visiting this place.

(Translated by Google) Huge disappointment. 1h40 walk to go, for a black cove of people, not knowing where to put your towel to land. (Original) Grosse déception. 1h40 de marche aller, pour une calanque noire de monde, a ne savoir ou mettre sa serviette pour se poser.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, the walk to get there is super pretty do not forget to take water (Original) Magnifique lieu, la marche pour y accéder est super jolie n’oubliez pas de prendre de l’eau

nice hike to get to the beach. bring water and whatever else you’d want for a nice beach day. you can take the trail back the way you came or go for a more difficult route directly up the mountain which was challenging but beautiful!

Was a tough hike - the last descent was almost vertical at points, but for an asthmatic wearing low top Lacoste’s it was doable. Make sure you bring lunch and 2L of water per person. The cold clean water at the end is just what you need after the hike. It’s crowded but the views are stunning and I would recommend to anyone able.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent Calanque, discovered by canoe, which seemed to me the best way to appreciate it, even if the journey was sporty! Unfortunately a lot of people on the beach, we are a little on top of each other ... But turquoise water worthy of the Caribbean, inevitably, it attracts crowds! (Original) Magnifique Calanque, découverte en canoë, ce qui m'a semblé le meilleur moyen pour l'apprécier, même si le trajet a été sportif! Malheureusement beaucoup de monde sur la plage, on est un peu les uns sur les autres... Mais une eau turquoise digne des Caraïbes, forcément, ça attire les foules!

A wonderful place. But also veery crowded ! For climbers it's an absolutely dream spot

Watch out for the parking, much theft. Look at the reviews of parecchio joli-bois.

Definitely worth the trek. Amazing place, the best of the three main calanques in my opinion (and the hardest to reach). The water is a crystal clear turquoise and warm, perfect for a break after the ~2hr hike from Cassis. It's pretty secluded earlier in the day so I would recommend leaving as early as possible to avoid the crowds and the beaming sun.

(Translated by Google) In any season, the site is beautiful. In winter, you can even swim there if you do not fear the fresh water. To cut with the everyday, it is an ideal place. (Original) En toute saison, le site est magnifique. L'hiver, on peut même s'y baigner si on ne craint pas trop l'eau fraîche. Pour couper avec le quotidien, c'est un endroit idéal.

(Translated by Google) Good but enough people that day (Original) Bien mais assez de monde ce jour-là

(Translated by Google) Magnificent place, really to see, at the end of the day so that there are less people. But please go there on foot! I went there by car and it is not wide enough for two crossing cars !! I just finished the ascent and I had to have 4 strokes and 5 epileptic seizures 😅😅😂 (Original) Endroit magnifique, vraiment a voir , en fin de journée pour qu'il y est moins de monde . Mais par pitié allez y a pied! J'y suis allée en voiture et c'est pas assez large pour deux voitures qui se croisent !! je viens seulement de finir la remontée et j'ai du faire 4 avc et 5 crises d'épilepsie 😅😅😂

(Translated by Google) Magical place but difficult to reach because no markup on site (Original) Endroit magique mais difficile à atteindre car aucun balisage sur place

Absolutely stunning! It’s a good 2-3 hour walk if you go the longest route (red/white then blue then red/white markings) but well worth it for the scenery and rewarding, chilly dip when you reach d’en Vau. We parked for free on Avenue Notre Dame. I’d recommend arriving early both for the parking and to get down to the beach by midday so that the sun is still shining down past the cliffs. Wear trainers/boots and take all the food & drink you need for the day. Regardless, go here - it’s beautiful

Beautiful

Der Aufstieg in die Berge ist anstrengend und ein paar wenige Ausblicke die man erhaschen kann wie schön es unten sein kann. Wird aber erst einem bewusst wen man unten am Strand ist. Mit einer Drohne bekommt man ein besseren Blick als bei der Wanderung nach oben.

(Translated by Google) Simply superb really to do because for me one of the most beautiful creeks (Original) Tout simplement superbe vraiment à faire car pour moi une des plus belles calanques

(Translated by Google) Magnificent. Choose the path on foot from Cassis but still requires being in good physical condition. (Original) Magnifique. Choisissez le chemin à pieds depuis Cassis mais nécessite tout de même d'être en bonne condition physique.

Un peu déçus car après 2h de marche nous n'avons pas pu nous installer car la plage était très fréquentée et pour trouver une place il fallait donc être éloigné de l'eau. Nous sommes partis à 8h pour arriver vers 10h30. Il faudrait sans doute essayer d'arriver vers 8h ou 9h max si vous voulez vous installer pour la journée et trouver un endroit calme. En revanche la randonnée était plaisante à faite et une fois sur place, le paysage est magnifique.

(Translated by Google) Watch out for flights !!!! I am sending this message to people who would like to park at the Gardiole pass car park! We had the unpleasant experience of broken glass and theft of personal items. I left nothing of value in the car, just sunglasses that disappeared and the papers of the vehicle. I recommend to anyone to park there !! I myself had seen someone who had lived this and I thought it was just once. But no! We were several cars to have suffered the same thing today on Tuesday, September 3, 2019 around 17h. The cove is yet beautiful to see and count about 4 hours of walk back and forth. FYI: the water is cold !!! I could not even snorkel because it was so cold. (Original) Attention aux vols!!!! J’adresse ce message aux personnes qui voudraient se garer au parking du col de la Gardiole! Nous avons eu la désagréable expérience de la vitre cassée et vol d’objets personnels. J’ai rien laissé de valeur dans la voiture, juste des lunettes solaires qui ont disparu et les papiers du véhicule. Je recommande à personne de la garer là-bas!! Moi-même j’avais vu qqn qui avait vécu ça et je me suis dit que c’était juste une seule fois. Mais non! On a était plusieurs voitures à avoir subi la même chose aujourd’hui le mardi 3 septembre 2019 vers 17h. La calanque est pourtant magnifique à voir et comptez environ 4h de marche aller-retour. Pour info: l’eau est froide!!! J’ai même pas pu faire du snorkeling tellement c’était froid.

Truly worth the hike. Probably the prettiest beach we visited. Don't try to get there in flip-flops, prepare for a 1h30 walk over rocky terrain. Some good cliff jumps if you follow the rocks left of the beach (5-9m).

Moderately hard trail, wear hiking boots if you have them but it can be done in sneakers. Bring a snorkel/goggles if you have them.

Der Weg zur Bucht war schön und man hatte teilweise einen wundervollen Ausblick. Man sollte sich aber auf jeden Fall um ein gutes Schuhwerk kümmern und ausreichend Wasser mitnehmen. Die Wege sind teils sehr beschwerlich (starke Steigung, rutschig). Angekommen an der Bucht waren wir etwas enttäuscht aufgrund der großen Menschenmassen. Wir waren gegen 14 Uhr da und die Bucht war voll mit Touristen.

Access requires a lot of walking and climbing and can be steep and challenging. It takes about an 1.5 hours from Cassis. So worth it though, it’s a real paradise!

a bit steep but worth as the water super clean although a bit crowded but still enjoyable. wear a good shoes and prepare enjoy water is must.

(Translated by Google) Superb (Original) Superbe

Beautiful walk! Very rocky and steep in places. Take water and snacks to enjoy along the way! Well worth the hike!

Sehr schöne Bucht. Man geht zwar vom nächsten Parkplatz „Port Miou“ ca. 1 Stunde hin aber das Ziel ist es wert. Außerdem ist der Weg dort hin auch schon ein Abenteuer für sich. Man muss sich auf einen steilen Anstieg mit einem folgenden steilen Abstieg einstellen. Festes Schuhwerk ist empfehlenswert. In der Bucht selber sind sehr viele Touristen und man sollte vor Mittag dort sein, weil sonst die Sonne schon hinter dem Fels verschwunden ist. Dann ist es nicht mehr allzu warm. Parkplatz kostet aber leider.

Amazing, just amazing! Wonderful stone beach with a view to the calanque, with cliffs on both sides. Crystal clear water and perfect temperature for a good swim. I recommend hiking there from cassis, as although the walking may take over 1h 30 mins, it's well worth it. You'll have the chance to enjoy tje views of the first two calanques on your way here. Bring good walking boots, food and drinks, and a snorkeling kit (big mistake of mine not to take one!).

Such an amazing place...

I want to come back!! Just amazing. We went at the end of May and was already with a lot of people but everyone rwas keeping calm and quite. The walk was not difficult at all but is a long way.

Very challenging hike from Port Miou to get here. It is not for the faint of heart, yet we did see some kids doing it. You must be fit to do this hike! Bring lots of water!

Great scenic route, some climbing, many panoramic views
