Solarium Beach
10 Andy Lee

This beach is a lovely hidden gem, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Turtle Beach
2 Daisy Milo

We arrived at the beach with high expectations, but unfortunately, we were let down. My wife ordered lamb, but it arrived undercooked. We requested a replacement, which was provided, but it greatly affected our overall dining experience. Additionally, the dessert we ordered was of very low quality, indicating that it was likely purchased at a cheap price. They charged a hefty 12.00€ per portion for it. Overall, we do not recommend this place and have no intention of returning. On a positive note, the location is beautiful as it is situated right by the waterfront. Furthermore, parking comes at a cost of 8€.

Calanque d'AnthEor beach
8 Mauricio Mongoose

The petite shoreline lies beneath the bustling thoroughfare and an iconic railway bridge, albeit with a rich history. While it may not exude an entirely organic ambiance, it proves to be a suitable option for those seeking a brief respite while lodging at a nearby hotel. The standard amenities of French beaches, including shower facilities, waste receptacles, and overall tidiness, are readily accessible.
