Port-Pin, Limestone creek in 9th arrondissement of Marseille, France.
The Port-Pin calanque extends between high cliffs with a 40-meter-wide beach combining sand and pebbles at the base of limestone formations.
The path to Port-Pin passes through an old limestone quarry that provided Cassis stone for local construction from the 18th century until the 1980s.
Port-Pin contains traditional dry-stone wall terraces called restanques, which represent Mediterranean agricultural engineering methods for hillside cultivation.
Visitors can reach Port-Pin through a 25-minute walk from Port Miou parking lot, following the red and white markers of the GR98-51 trail.
Neptune's nostril, located near Port-Pin, produces strong air blasts when waves enter a semi-submerged cavity in the limestone rock formation.
