Plage de Carro petite plage, Sand beach in Martigues, France.
The Plage de Carro extends along the Mediterranean coast with a mix of fine sand and small pebbles, bordered by a traditional fishing port.
The beach area contains remnants of the ancient Baou Tailla quarry, which served as a significant stone extraction site during Roman times.
The adjacent fishing port maintains daily operations, with local fishermen selling their fresh catches at the morning market near the beach.
The beach features accessibility ramps, showers, toilets, and first aid facilities, with lifeguard supervision from June through August between 10:00 and 19:00.
A natural underwater siphon near the beach connects to deeper Mediterranean waters, creating exceptional conditions for diving and marine exploration.
