Calanque de Sugiton

The limestone inlet features two distinct shingle beaches flanked by steep cliffs, with the small Torpilleur island standing in front of the bay.

The inlet served as a secluded natural harbor for local fishermen throughout centuries before becoming part of Calanques National Park in 2012.

Rock climbing enthusiasts practice their skills on numerous established routes across the cliffs, particularly on the Grande Candelle formation near the inlet.

Access to the inlet requires advance reservations and QR code presentation from June through September due to environmental protection measures by the National Park.

The path from Luminy campus to the inlet splits into two options: a gradual concrete road or a steeper natural trail marked with red dots.
