The beach is very easy to access, the walking time is less than 10 minutes. At the exit of the ferry terminal, take the wide path that leads to the Calanque Sainte-Estève and the Caroline Hospital.
On the left, after the sanitary block, part of which is only accessible in summer, there is a crack in the rock. It is necessary to cross it and thus one emerges on the cove.
It is a wide pebble beach and in reality its name is that of the "calanque de la Courale". In Provencal "couralo" means the heart, the center. And this name corresponds well to this cove which goes deep into the heart of the island of Ratonneau. This geographical position also offers a good protection by east wind. The whole bay is called "Havre de Morgeret". This name "Morgeret" or "Morgiret" has a link with the prefix "mor" which means "height". And here indeed in the south there is a high plateau which protects the creeks. This root of height is also found in the name of the Calanque of Morgiou.
At the end of the day it is an ideal spot to watch the sunset.
The beach does not offer any shaded area and is not supervised.
The access to Frioul is done by a boat shuttle which leaves from the Old Port, quai des Belges (quai de la Fraternité)
