Located on the magnificent Côte Bleue, Sainte-Croix Beach in Martigues captivates with its exceptional natural setting and rich heritage. Bordered by majestic cliffs that lend it a romantic and intimate atmosphere, this fine sand beach offers a truly picture-postcard setting, bathed in the generous sunshine of the South of France.
Its main attraction? Crystal-clear water with turquoise reflections, ideal for swimming or relaxing. In season, the beach is supervised, making it a perfect spot for families seeking tranquility and safety. Just a few steps from the shore, the seabed holds some wonderful surprises for snorkeling enthusiasts.
Overlooking the beach, the Sainte-Croix Chapel invites contemplation. Steeped in history, it is said to be linked to Mary Magdalene's visit to Provence, adding a touch of mystery and spirituality to the site. It also offers a remarkable view of the Mediterranean.
For hikers, several marked trails run along the hills and nearby coves, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the coast. Between tranquility, nature, and Mediterranean landscapes, Sainte-Croix Beach is a place where relaxation, wild beauty, and discovery blend together.
