Plage des Laurons

The beach stretches along the Mediterranean coast with a mixture of fine sand and small pebbles near the waterline at Corniche des Laurons.

The beach developed as a recreational area following the growth of coastal tourism in Martigues during the latter half of the 20th century.

Regional festivals take place on the beach throughout summer, featuring performances of traditional Provençal music and local food specialties.

Visitors find free parking spaces, showers, lifeguard services during summer months, and designated areas for water sports activities.

The beach maintains its natural character despite being located 300 meters from an EDF power station, which creates an industrial backdrop.
