Le Golfe sur La Ciotat

12/10/2026: This was definitely the place that struck us and we liked the most on our trip between La Ciotat and Cassis. The weather was splendid, and arriving in the morning allowed us to find a good spot on the beach, which is very small. After just an hour, those arriving had run out of space on the pebbles near the shore and had to lie down further back, where instead of pebbles there was dirt (not sand). The rock faces surrounding it were stunning, and the water, though cold, was pleasant and very clean, especially in the morning. We walked there from the center in about fifteen minutes, because we'd been told that parking is very difficult in high season. In fact, at 10 a.m., there were still a few free spots, despite the beautiful August day. However, to get to the beach from the road there's a short two-minute descent and then, immediately after the restaurant, a flight of steps.
