La Ciotat's waters, in practice

The bay of La Ciotat below the Soubeyranes cliffs, guarded by the Bec de l’Aigle and the little Île Verte. Wind-wise: a west-north-west mistral that accelerates off the Bec de l’Aigle, gentler at the head of the bay.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Vieux Port beside the historic shipyards and the adjoining marina. The local classics: the Île Verte, the Figuerolles and Mugel calanques, then Cassis and the great calanques to the west. High season: from June to September, with a luminous late season below the cliffs.
