Our beaches

Made up of sand and pebbles, Capucins Beach has all the necessary facilities: a lifeguard station, toilets and a children’s playground.

A sand-covered play area has been created, and the nearby restaurants make it a safe and pleasant family beach to visit. And like all the beaches in La Ciotat, it offers stunning scenery between the famous ‘Les 3 Secs’ and the enchanting bay.

The added bonus: it’s the closest to the town centre

Lumière Beach is very popular with families with children as the gentle slope makes swimming easier. There are also activities for children on the esplanade. It has been awarded the ‘Tourisme & Handicap’ label for all four types of disability (intellectual, hearing, visual and physical), it features facilities for people with disabilities, including an access ramp for those with reduced mobility, specialised swimming aids and trained staff.

The little extra: ideal for children!

Adjacent to the port of Saint-Jean, Saint-Jean beach is a small sandy and pebbly beach, which is generally quiet and has a very family-friendly atmosphere. During the season, you can hire kayaks, sun loungers, air mattresses and parasols. There are several restaurants near the beach. Don’t miss the lovely view of the ‘3 Secs’.

Parking is available around the port of Saint-Jean.

The little extra: water sports nearby!

Arène Cros beach is a pebble and smooth-rock beach with Posidonia seagrass beds in the water.

Paid parking (free from 7 pm to 9 am) is available near the beach (the first two hours of parking are free).

This is a non-smoking beach and dogs are not allowed on the beach. A campsite, a holiday residence, several restaurants and a supermarket are located near the beach.

The added bonus: it’s the least crowded!

This beach, reserved exclusively for dogs and their owners, is situated between the Villa des Tours and the Capucins East Beach. Dogs can play, run and cool off here to their heart’s content.
