Plage de Carro petite plage, Sand beach in Martigues, France.
Plage de Carro petite plage is a sandy beach on the Mediterranean coast of Martigues featuring fine sand mixed with small pebbles. A working fishing port lies beside the shoreline, shaping the character of this section.
The beach area contains remains from an ancient Roman quarry called Baou Tailla that was once used for extracting stone. This site reflects how the land was shaped by human activity in classical times.
The fishing port adjacent to the beach shows how the local community still relies on traditional maritime work, with fishing boats and morning sales shaping daily rhythms. Visitors see the connection between the sea and everyday life in this working coastal town.
The beach offers ramps for accessibility, showers, toilets, and first aid services to help visitors get comfortable. During summer months from June through August, lifeguards are on duty to watch over swimmers.
A natural underwater siphon near the beach connects to deeper Mediterranean waters and creates exceptional conditions for diving. This geological feature draws experienced divers who want to explore the underwater caves and formations.
