The Côte Bleue, a natural setting
Located between the Camargue and Marseille, the Côte Bleue refers to a portion of the Mediterranean coast of approximately 25 kilometres punctuated by a succession of sandy beaches, wilder coves, rocky inlets and beautiful coastal landscapes. An exceptional setting to enjoy water activities or the pleasure of the beach and lazing around. The Côte Bleue corresponds to the maritime coastline of the municipalities of Rove, Ensuès-la-Redonne, Carry-le-Rouet, Sausset-les-Pins and Martigues. The name refers to the color of the water that borders the rocky massif: the L'Estaque chain or the Nerthe chain.
The rocky inlets of the Côte Bleue
The Côte Bleue is full of many beautiful rocky inlets, perhaps less known than those of the calanques massif between Marseille and Cassis. But some of them have unparalleled assets, housing small picturesque ports or exceptional beaches and coves. Discover the calanques des Figuières-Méjean with its small fishing port, or the one of Niolon and its magical panorama of the city of Marseille and the islands of Frioul. From east to west, there are no less than 15 rocky inlets that you can discover: L'Establon, La Vesse, Figuerolles, Niolon, Donquier, Riflard, L'Érevine, Petit Méjean, Grand Méjean, Figuières, Athenors, La Redonne, Le Puy, Les Eaux saléeand and La Tuilière.
The beach of Sainte-Croix, the most beautiful on the Côte Bleue
Stretching over an area of 4,000 m2 (100 x 40 m), it is also one of the largest on the Côte Bleue. Enjoy a swim on this beautiful beach, labelled the Blue Flag of Europe. With its fine sand and pine forest, it is crossed by the coastal path which is itself part of the GR51. There is a restaurant nearby and the beach is monitored every day from June to early September.
