Grand Mugel Beach in La Ciotat - France
Information on the Grand Mugel Beach in La Ciotat (France)
Description and location of the Grand Mugel Beach in La Ciotat (13600)
Our opinion on the Grand Mugel Beach
The Mugel calanque in La Ciotat is the largest in this seaside resort area. It is located near the entrance of Mugel park on the avenue with the same name. This calanque is about 100 meters long and composed of stones. It offers an amazing view of Ile Verte and Bec de l'Aigle (to the right). Alas, to the left we have a view of the cranes in the harbor of La Ciotat. There is a restaurant on this beach.
To get here from the Vieux-Port (Old Harbor), follow directions for “Calanques” and Mugel Park, then take the avenue du Mugel. At the end of the road, take a left and you'll see a parking lot in 100 meters. The calanque is accessible from a little road at the intersection of avenue du Mugel and avenue des Calanques (not accessible by car because there is no parking).

Photos of the Grand Mugel Beach
It's the biggest calanque in La Ciotat. Behind we can see the Bec de l'Aigle which dominates this beach.
To the left we can see the industrial side of the town (cranes in the harbor) which is unfortunate because the atmosphere is lovely.
From this beach, we have a nice view of Ile Verte, the only wooded island in the department.
We are on the chemin de Mugel (path). On the left, we join up with the parking lot of Mugel Park. Straight ahead we join the calanque (impossible to come by car; no parking).
