Sausset-les-Pins is much more than a simple seaside resort. This Cote Bleue village, between Marseille and Martigues, holds natural, cultural and gastronomic treasures. Here are all the activities and best spots to fully enjoy your visit.
Beaches and coves of Sausset-les-Pins
Sausset-les-Pins offers an exceptional coastline with several beaches and coves. The Rond-Point beach, in the village centre, is the most accessible with its fine sand. Wilder, the Couronne coves and the Cote Bleue calanques offer crystal-clear waters in a preserved setting. The coastal path lets you discover them on foot.
The coastal path and hiking
The Cote Bleue coastal path is a must for hiking enthusiasts. This trail follows the coast from Niolon to Carro, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean. The stretch between Sausset-les-Pins and Carry-le-Rouet is particularly popular, with its cliffs, hidden coves and maritime pines.
Where to eat in Sausset-les-Pins
Gastronomy is at the heart of the Sausset-les-Pins experience. For a seaside brunch, seafront terraces open from the morning. At lunch, seafood restaurants offer fresh daily catches. And in the evening, cocktail bars liven up the harbour until nightfall.
Le Spot, located at 1 Avenue Jules Ferry, is open every day from 8am to 11pm and offers a varied menu from breakfast to dinner, including ice cream and crepes in the afternoon.
Visiting the surroundings
Sausset-les-Pins is an excellent base for exploring the region. A few kilometres away, Carry-le-Rouet and its picturesque harbour, Ensues-la-Redonne and its wild calanques, or Martigues, the "Provencal Venice", are all worth a visit. Marseille is only 30 minutes by car or TER train.
