Plages du Prado
Sightseeing
After a day in the city you can cool off on one of the well-known Plages du Prado. Still some energy left? Go windsurfing, kayaking or snorkeling (everything is for rent) or take a walk along the boulevard. Plages du Prado was (just like many other beaches in Southern France) built in the seventies for the inhabitants of Marseille to give better access to the water. Nowadays, the beaches and adjacent parks are popular among both locals and tourists.
