What to do in Sausset-les-Pins: activities, beaches and best spots

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. Along the coastal path, small coves and flat rocks offer a wilder setting with clear water. The coastal path lets you discover them on foot. After a swim, extend the day on the terrace: steps from the beaches, Le Spot offers a genuine beach-bar terrace in Sausset-les-Pins, facing the Mediterranean.

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.
