Take the #83 Bus from the Vieux Port (Place aux Huiles) to La Plage. But be warned that if traffic is bad, it wouldn’t take you much longer to walk. Otherwise, parking is available in large lots behind the beach, but even those get full quickly in summer.

If you start the day early, the marina is full of markets. The square is filled with flowers and becomes a walk through a mixture of fresh aromas.

- Normally, in France, tickets to some museums and attractions are free for people under 26 years of age. 

Follow the coastline in the direction of Prado. The #83 bus stop is called Viaduc de la Fausse Monnaie and follow the road down to the beach, following signs to Le Petit Nice. Parking is almost non-existent, so you might want to park in town and walk.

Take the metro to Ront Point du Prado or the bus to La Plage. Limited parking is available alongside the beach.

The most stunning way to arrive is by train at Ensuès-la-Redonne from Marseille St Charles station – the high aqueduct gives sublime views across the Mediterranean.  If you drive over, parking is a challenge, but possible. There are a few spaces at the top of the hill, a few on the way down to the beach, and fewer still at the bottom. Wear flat shoes as the hills are steep.

There is a car park, La Cayolle, at the top which costs €4 for the day. The #23 bus from Rond Point du Prado takes 20 minutes to La Cayolle, and the walk down takes about an hour.

If visiting in April through to October, you’ll need to park at Luminy or Parc des Baumetttes and hike the 50mins – 1hr down to the calanque. From the port, the beach is accessed via a short trail.

- I advise you to visit in the late afternoon to enjoy the wonderful sunset with a fantastic view. 

- Notre-Dame de la Garde closes at 6 pm but there is space outside to watch the sunset. 

- The local is quite high so I advise you to take a jacket because sometimes is a bit windy.

- Entrance to the museums is free on the first Sunday of the month.
