Its long and beautiful beaches welcome every year many holidaymakers, who also enjoy strolling along the seafront or the port. To enjoy the pleasures of the sun and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, you can rent a deckchair for the day or have lunch in a waterfront restaurant, by choosing one of the private beaches of La Ciotat.
Des plages privées au cœur de la ville
The large beach of La Ciotat, bordered by a seafront promenade, is home to several straw huts, waterfront restaurants and private beaches offering deckchairs and mattresses for rent. The view is sensational, with the Île Verte and the ochre rocks, with golden reflections, of the Bec de l’Aigle in the line of sight.
The KS 13 offers a lounge atmosphere, delicious Mediterranean cuisine and serves refreshments and explosive cocktails (to be consumed in moderation). Deckchairs and mattresses are available for a relaxing break under the blue Mediterranean sky.
La Vague seduces by its family and friendly welcome, with a peaceful setting where tranquility is the watchword.
