Carry-le-Rouet Beach
This small yet charming seaside resort on the Blue Coast, nestled between the sea and pine forests, is one of the destinations that offers the most beautiful beaches in the department. Sand, gravel, rocks, the range is wide. Moreover, the beaches are family-friendly and the clarity of the water is renowned. But Carry is also known for its sea urchin festivals and its quality of life. It's the perfect place for your vacation in the south!
THE BEACHES OF CARRY
Carry is also a multitude of small coves and other almost confidential swimming and diving spots. Locals know all the secrets, so don't hesitate to ask them, even if the best "spots" are sometimes jealously guarded. Consider boat rental or, if you don't have a license, why not take advantage of the opportunity to take a boating license course?
It's an excellent starting point to discover the Blue Coast and its villages as charming as they are typical.
Rouet Beach is the largest. Natural, composed of sand and pebbles, it has nearby parking and is well signposted.
Cap Rousset Beach is located in the heart of the marine reserve in the Barqueroute district. This charming beach, redeveloped into terraces, is a stop on the underwater trail of the Blue Coast.
Fernandel Beach gets its name from the fact that it was once the private beach of the Villa built by Fernandel near the port of Carry. When the villa was sold, the city bought the beach to reopen it to the public. It is ideal for families as it is shallow and protected.
Baumettes Beach is appreciated because it is shallow. It is accessible by car thanks to free parking nearby. So feel free to bring your children there.
In July and August, marine park animators offer free discovery of the marine life and flora of the seabed. Showers, toilets, first aid station, and parking nearby.
LIFE IN CARRY LE ROUET
Beyond the big blue, Carry's soul resides in its small marina, the true epicenter of the town. The port boasts numerous restaurants offering seafood specialties, including sea urchins. The beach bars and restaurants allow you to have a drink while admiring the view. The "oursinade" (sea urchin festival) is a true institution in Carry. Since 1960, the first three Sundays of February are dedicated to a large tasting of sea urchins and shellfish on the harbor. The sea urchins are handpicked by professional fishermen.
The port is also the arena for spirited games of petanque, just as it was when Fernandel had established his second home nearby. The Blue Coast offers many activities related to the sea, such as sailing, diving, and fishing. It's all the warmth of the south, with cicadas, pine trees, and aperitifs and meals by the sea.
In short, a powerful holiday feeling. So don't hesitate to choose Carry-le-Rouet for your next vacation rental.
