About This Location
Calanque de Sugiton is one of the most popular hiking destinations from Marseille (the land trail from Luminy is 30min) and equally spectacular from the sea — narrow, intensely clear water, and wild vegetation on the cliffs. The national park allows anchoring for vessels ≤24m. Peak season rules restrict overnight anchoring in the designated zone. One of the few calanques where the land and sea overlap — hikers swim from the rocks as boats anchor below.
