What to expect

The Calanque d'En-Vau is a spectacular natural site with white, steep, and jagged cliffs, making it a popular spot for rock climbing enthusiasts. The calanque is also a favorite among swimmers due to its incredibly transparent water. The site is part of the Parc National des Calanques and is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including posidonie, a type of underwater plant that creates a unique landscape. Visitors can hike to the calanque via the GR98-51 trail, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The calanque's beach is covered in galets, and the water is fresh and perfect for swimming. However, it's essential to be mindful of the sun and heat, as there is little shade in the calanque.
