As the sandy beach is extremely crowded in high season, it is advisable to walk a few metres further. There are further bathing opportunities at a small boat dock or at the rocks in between, where you can easily get into the water without it being overcrowded and enjoy the great, super clear water.

Sormiou Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Calanque de Sormiou is one of the widest and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, it is not for nothing that it is one of the cradles of scuba diving. The shallow, crystal clear waters offer some of the best scuba diving in the region. Perfect for cooling off after a hike or simply admiring the sheer beauty of the natural surroundings.
