Plage du Prophète, Sand beach on Corniche Kennedy, Marseille, France
The beach extends along a gentle slope towards the Mediterranean Sea, featuring fine sand and shallow waters suitable for families with children.
The beach received its name from Jean-Vital Jammes, an opera performer who sang in Meyerbeer's opera Le Prophète at Marseille Opera in 1856.
During summer evenings, the beach transforms into a social gathering spot where people play djembe drums and organize spontaneous outdoor concerts.
Visitors can access the beach via bus line 83 from Vieux Port, and the facility includes showers, toilets, a volleyball court, and a first aid station.
The beach maintains a lifeguard service from June through August, operating daily between 9:30 AM and 7:00 PM to ensure swimmer safety.
