Ferrières Beach Downtown
Leisure Water sports Beach / Bathing Area
Presentation
The sandy beach located at the edge of the pond of Berre and in the city centre of Martigues, is certified "bathing waters", recognition of the actions taken by the municipality for the management of a bathing site. The beach has showers and toilets.
Located in the heart of Martigues, Ferrières Beach is a true urban oasis, perfect for a refreshing break between walks or a lazy afternoon with the family. This fine sand beach borders the banks of the Berre pond, offering a unique yet relaxing setting, with unobstructed views and a friendly atmosphere.
Easily accessible on foot from the shops and bustling streets of the town center, Ferrières Beach appeals for its proximity and accessibility. Everything here is designed with visitor comfort in mind: swimming is supervised during the summer season, guaranteeing optimal safety for young and old alike.
Contrary to popular belief, the pond's water is salty and is regularly inspected to ensure clean and safe swimming, which is validated each summer. A perfect place to swim with complete peace of mind!
For foodies, the experience doesn't end there. Beach huts set up on the sand offer a relaxed summer menu: fresh salads, generous hamburgers, tapas to share, not to mention colorful cocktails to enjoy with your toes in the sand, overlooking the water. Day and night, the place is perfect for relaxing and catching up.
With its relaxed atmosphere, warm sand, and vacation vibes right in the city center, Ferrières Beach is a favorite with Martigues residents and visitors alike. Ideal for a quick swim or an evening with friends, it perfectly embodies the unique charm of Martigues, nestled between land, water, and sun.
Ferrières Beach will be supervised from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. from May 29 to June 1, then every weekend in June and the first weekend of September (6-7). The beach will also be supervised on Wednesdays, June 18 and 25, before being supervised every day during the summer between June 28 and August 31.
