The Calanques de Marseille are a series of rocky inlets that extend over twenty kilometers of coastline on the Mediterranean Sea between Marseille and Cassis.
The creeks are protected by the Calanques National Park, established in April 2012. These places allow for various water sports, such as diving, or simply taking a swim.
