Calanque de Morgiou

Cove Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France

What to expect

The Calanque de Morgiou is a narrow, deep, and secluded calanque located in the heart of the Calanques National Park in Marseille, France. It is accessible on foot in about 1 hour from the Luminy massif or by car via a steep and winding road. The calanque has a small pebble beach and crystal-clear water, which is cooler than other areas due to underwater springs and the mistral wind. The GR98-51 hiking trail passes through the calanque, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape and access to other calanques, such as Sugiton. The area is also popular for rock climbing, with several routes for all levels. The calanque is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including goats, and offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea
