Beach overall scores
Pointe de Figuerolles (Bouches-du-Rhone) region (French Riviera sub-region) is located outside the La Vesse settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"This beach is absolutely stunning! The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkelling, and it's not too cold during the summer months. The best part? It's completely free to the public! To get there, you'll need to take a mini hike through some creeks, but trust me, it's worth it for the breathtaking views. From the beach, you can even see Marseille in its entirety, from..."
