User reviews
"The beach is quite expansive and has a wide expanse. There are numerous shells scattered along the shore. There is a somewhat industrial view on the horizon. It happened to be quite windy when I visited in February."
Kazimir J.
"The beach is really nice and has a lot of seashells. It's a fun spot for kids, although the water isn't very clean. You won't find any big waves there, but it could still be a great destination for a family day trip."

Plage du Jai (Bouches-du-Rhone) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Plage du Jai (Bouches-du-Rhone) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Plage du Jai for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
