BEACHES AND CREEKS
2024
Four beautiful beaches are accessible on foot from the centre of the village: Arène beach, Corton beach, Grand Mer beach on pier, and finally the smallest, a little way away, the Bestouan beach. The calanques massif is famous all over the world. Classified, its vulnerability imposes a strict regulations that often prohibit access in summer except on foot or by boat. The easiest way to visit, summer and winter, the main ones among them - the most beautiful is En-Vau - is to go aboard one of the boats for a guided tour: tickets to be taken at the small yellow kiosk on the boules game place on the port. Information: Les Bateliers de Cassis at 04 42 01 90 83. One of the jewels between Marseille and Cassis is undoubtedly the Cosquer cave. Located in cap Morgiou, this site is unique in the world. Therefore, this underwater cave houses dozens of works painted and engraved about 27 000 and 19 000 years ago. Discovered in 1985 by a cassidian diver, it took years to mention the colourful paintings covering its walls: horses, seabirds, deer, wild cats, bison have remained in an exceptional state. Protected and for security reasons, it can't be visited. You can console yourself by buying books and photos in the village shops, or by taking a virtual tour on the website www.culture.gouv.fr

Les sites sont magnifiques, les eaux très belles.
On peu les faire à pied hors saison, plus difficile en été à cause de la chaleur et des restrictions dues aux incendies.
On peut les faire en bateau, sympa mais très touristique, rapide et pas donné !
Le mieux (quand on le peut bien sûr) est de louer un bateau à plusieurs pour la journée. On prend le temps d'admirer les paysages, de se baigner, de changer de calanque,... c'est inoubliable !
