Plages du Prado

Plages du Prado, Public beach complex in Marseille, France

Description

Plages du Prado extends along several kilometers of Mediterranean coastline, offering different sections with sand and pebbles for swimming and relaxation. The area is flat and easy to access, with wide shoreline zones for all kinds of recreational activities.

History

The beach was created in the 1970s using earth from metro construction, transforming a barren coastline into a public recreational area. This transformation made the Mediterranean shore accessible to residents who previously had no easy access to the sea.

Culture

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors spend their days together in the Mediterranean sun. You see families picnicking, groups playing sports, and people simply enjoying time by the water.

Practical

The area has multiple parking spots along the beach, making it easy to arrive by car, and bus stops connect it to downtown and the Old Port. You get the best experience by arriving early in the morning to avoid crowds and find quieter spots.

Did you know?

A well-known skatepark is built into this beach area and attracts both professionals and beginners from around the world. The park blends water sports energy with skateboarding culture, creating a unique place where different activities happen side by side.
