Explore this spot near La Ciotat. Great location for scuba diving, kayaking, canoeing, supping, wind surfing and kiteboarding. La Ciotat is a coastal town in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in the south of France, known for its picturesque Old Port, sandy beaches, and steep cliffs that rise up from the Mediterranean Sea. The area is characterized by its rugged, rocky coastline, crystal-clear waters, and lush vegetation. The town is surrounded by rolling hills, fragrant pine forests, and olive groves. The Calanques, a series of narrow inlets and coves surrounded by sheer limestone cliffs, are a popular attraction for hikers, swimmers, and rock climbers. The area is also home to numerous vineyards, producing some of France's finest wines, including Bandol, Cassis and Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence.
