Plage d'En Vau, Secluded beach in Marseille 9th district, France
The beach sits within a narrow inlet, flanked by towering white limestone cliffs and features clear Mediterranean waters against a pebble shore.
The geological formation of En Vau dates back millions of years, shaped by water erosion that carved deep valleys through the limestone massif.
The beach location served as a filming site for the 1964 French movie Fantômas, highlighting the natural grandeur of the Calanques coastline.
Visitors can reach the beach through two hiking trails from La Gardiole, with journey times ranging between 45 minutes and 90 minutes.
The surrounding cliffs contain numerous climbing routes that attract international climbers seeking challenges on the vertical limestone walls.
