Small village at the end of the Calanque de Morgiou, there is a lovely restaurant right at the harbour. The nicest way to get here is to follow the red route from Luminy university, where you can find plenty of parking space during off-season and regular public transport.

Small fishing village with a boat harbor. The pebble beaches are almost not visited, lonely bathing is possible here

Morgiou is dramatically located, though the route down is not quite as arresting as the one to Sormiou, since it is lined with vegetation.
The houses snake inland into the gully and aren't all lined up on the seafront.
Morgiou is also famed for the Cosquer cave which contains paintings, both of animals and hand prints, dating back to the Paleolithic era, 35 metres (115 feet) underwater.
culture.gouv.fr/culture/archeosm/en/fr-cosqu2.htm
A single, simple bar, Le Nautic, serves drinks and meals on a small terrace or in a cosy dining area with faded photographs of the calanque in times gone by.
It rents rooms too all year round. (+33) 4 91 40 06 37. Closed Sunday evenings and Mondays.

How to get to Morgiou: Drive past the notorious Baumettes prison to find a car-park at the entrance to the calanque. Or take the metro line 2, direction Sainte Marguerite Dromel,
