The beautiful days are finally back and we won't hesitate to enjoy them. To fully appreciate the simple pleasures of life, we have made a small selection of the best spots in Marseille to admire the sunsets before heading home. Enjoy!

Malmousque Cove

Not only is Malmousque the only calanque in the center of Marseille, but it also offers a breathtaking view of Château d’If and the Frioul islands. If you feel like it, you can jump into the water under the setting sun, or better yet, plan for an aperitif!

Les Goudes 

Le bout de Marseille a des airs de paradis. Les calanques aux Goudes sont magnifiques, ses petites plages, ses petits ports et son côté sauvage nous laissent sans voix. Le choix est large pour vous installer et admirer l’œuvre de la nature. Le petit plus : pour une ambiance détendue en voiture à l’américaine, vous pouvez vous garer à la Baie des Singes, face à la mer.

The Prado Beaches 

Picture yourself grabbing a cold beer from Red Lion and sitting on the Prado beaches to enjoy the sunlight reflecting on the sea. Isn't it just perfect here ?

The beach of Roucas Blanc

Not far from the Prado beaches, Roucas Blanc beach has its own charm. You can admire the sunset while sitting directly at the friends' cabin where the friendly atmosphere is guaranteed. Sitting at a table or on a beach mat, you can even have a snack, all with your feet in the water.

Pharo Park 

If you're not really into beaches, Pharo Park can welcome you to admire the sunset. The view? The port of Marseille, Fort Saint Jean, MUCEM, the Cathedral of the Major, and the sea.

Vallon des Auffes 

Sitting on the terrace, on the rocks, or by the small fishing port of Vallon des Auffes, you will witness an exceptional sunset in the picturesque atmosphere of the neighborhood. Located in the center of Marseille, you will be right on time to head back before dinner.

Notre-Dame de la Garde

Our final suggestion but definitely not the least: Notre Dame de la Garde. If the Virgin Mary watches over the people of Marseille, she also offers a 360-degree view of the city. Perfect for admiring the sunset, right?
