Plage du Rouet, Mediterranean beach in Carry-le-Rouet, France.
Plage du Rouet is a Mediterranean beach in Carry-le-Rouet with sandy and pebbly sections framed by limestone cliffs. The view stretches across the sea toward Marseille and its offshore islands.
In the 1950s this stretch of the Côte Bleue was developed into a popular destination for people from nearby Marseille. This transformation established the place as a key local beach.
The beach sits within the Parc Marin de la Côte Bleue, a marine reserve where protection efforts keep the Mediterranean ecosystem healthy. Visitors swimming or snorkeling here can directly experience the waters that support diverse fish and plant life.
A parking area provides direct access to the beach, where lifeguard services and facilities for visitors with mobility limitations are available. The straightforward access and good facilities make a visit convenient for different types of visitors.
Two private establishments right at the water's edge, Le Tiki Beach and Le Jean Bart, let visitors rent sun loungers and relax directly by the sea. This setup appeals to those wanting to spend the whole day there.
