Beach of the Verdon
Leisure Water sports Beach / Bathing Area
Presentation
Verdon beach is a beautiful beach of 300m, made of sand and therefore very popular with the inhabitants of Martigues. Protected by a large cove which shelters it from the wind, it has all the necessary facilities for coming with the family.
Located in La Couronne, in the town of Martigues, Verdon Beach is the largest fine sand beach on the Côte Bleue. A truly vibrant postcard, it immediately captivates with its turquoise water, wide stretches of golden sand, and lively, family-friendly atmosphere.
With its exceptional natural setting, this beach is the perfect place to fully enjoy the Mediterranean sun. Everything here has been designed for your comfort: the beach is equipped with bars and restaurants, perfect for a refreshing break or lunch overlooking the sea. Restrooms, showers, and lifeguard stations are also available to ensure a relaxing day.
During the summer season, the beach is supervised, making it an ideal place for families. Activities abound: head out on the water with pedal boats with slides or paddleboards for a gliding session against the sparkling sea. Looking to relax? Head to the private area, where you can rent deckchairs and umbrellas to enjoy the sun in complete peace.
Sports enthusiasts are not left out: a beach volleyball court is available for friendly games with your feet in the sand. Whether you come with family, friends, or as a couple, Verdon Beach offers a complete seaside experience, combining relaxation, water sports, and a warm atmosphere.
Easily accessible, with ample parking nearby, Verdon Beach is the unmissable summer spot on the Côte Bleue. A place where nature, comfort, and pleasure blend together, for unforgettable days by the Mediterranean.
