Plage de la Pointe Rouge

  Plage de la Pointe Rouge, nestled in the 8th arrondissement of Marseille, offers an inviting stretch of sand along the Mediterranean coast. This beach has a rich history, having been a popular spot for locals and visitors alike since the late 19th century, when the area began to flourish as a seaside resort. The main feature of Plage de la Pointe Rouge is its manageable length of approximately 600 meters, perfect for sunbathing and swimming during the warmer months, especially from June to September. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities, from beach volleyball to paddle boarding, or simply take in the vibrant scenery of the nearby colorful beach bars and restaurants along Boulevard de la Pointe Rouge. Additionally, the picturesque view of the Calanques National Park to the east adds to the charm of this lively urban beach setting.
