Plage de Saint-Estève

Plage de Saint-Estève is a picturesque beach located on the Frioul island, which is accessible by a regular ferry service from Vieux Port of Marseille. The journey to the island offers stunning views and takes less than half an hour. Once on the island, the beach is a further 15-minute walk from the quaint port of Frioul. The beach is known for its clean, clear, and blue water, which is often described as having a greenish hue. It is a mix of rocky and pebbly areas, with a section of sandy beach where visitors can enjoy swimming and snorkeling. The water is so clear that one can see the fish swimming around, making it an excellent spot for snorkeling. Despite its beauty, the beach can get crowded, especially during the summer months. Therefore, it is advisable to arrive early to secure a good spot. The beach also offers amenities such as outdoor showers. However, it should be noted that some facilities, such as the snack area and bathrooms, may be closed during the off-peak season. In addition to the beach, the island also offers hiking opportunities for those looking to explore more. Visitors are advised to be aware of the ferry's return timings, especially during the summer when the last ferry is around 21h. Essential items to bring include sunglasses, a parasol, and sunscreen.
