Marina Pointe du Bout
I think you should rent a small boat for an hour or two instead of a full day. It’s much cheaper and the experience is still amazing!
I recommend checking out the local bakery nearby for some delicious fresh pastries; way better than the overpriced cafe snacks! Plus, it only costs a fraction of the price.
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!
Grand'Riviere
My advice is to bring a camera. The sunsets at Grand'Riviere are breathtaking, and those pictures will be something you'll cherish forever. Just be ready to capture it all.
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.
Bloody Mary's
If you plan to rent a boat, I think booking in advance saves not just time but also money. You might find better deals online than at the marina itself.
I recommend checking the local weather before your visit; we got caught in the rain unexpectedly and it really put a damper on our plans. Bring a light jacket just in case!
Marina Marin
I think you should definitely check out the sunset from the marina boardwalk. It's stunning, but I suggest arriving by 6:30 PM to grab a good spot.
If you're planning on renting a boat, I suggest booking ahead online. I paid a lot more by waiting until I got there!
My advice is to invest in some sunscreen, even if the weather is cloudy. I got burned unexpectedly, and it was no fun!
