Water Activities in France:
Cassis Calanques Plongee
I really enjoyed the guided dives, but I think it’s worth asking about the group's experience level before starting. It can make a big difference in your overall experience.
La Grande Plage
Marina Pointe du Bout
Centre De Plongée Euro Plongee
Port de Marseille
If you want to enjoy a nice seafood meal, head to one of the restaurants tucked away in the side streets. I didn’t realize they were less touristy and way cheaper than those on the port itself!
Don’t forget to bring your camera! The sunsets over the marina are breathtaking. I think the best spot is right by the fort at the end of the port. Just chill there with a drink and enjoy!
Beach Cote des Basques
Grab a baguette and some cheese from a local shop for a picnic on the sand. It’s way cheaper than the beachside cafes and twice as satisfying. I didn’t do this and regretted it!
Cote Plongee
Check the weather a day before your dive. I had to reschedule because of rough seas so staying updated really helps.
If you can, try to dive with a buddy who has some experience. It made my dives way more enjoyable and safer!
Grand'Riviere
I'd recommend checking out the local markets if you're there on a Saturday morning. The fresh produce and local crafts are unbeatable! You might even find some unique souvenirs to take home.
I suggest wandering off the beaten path a bit to discover some hidden gems. There are small beaches and coves that aren't in the guidebooks but are totally stunning and much quieter.
Plan your boating trips around the tide schedules. I once got stuck waiting for hours because I didn't pay attention! It can really eat into your day if you're not careful.
Miramar Beach
Pack your sunscreen and a beach umbrella; the sun can get intense! I didn’t realize how hot it could be, and I ended up with a nasty sunburn, which definitely put a damper on my trip!
