“Wow.”
That is the first thought that comes to one’s mind upon first setting eyes on Marseille’s beautiful Mediterranean coastline. Whether viewed from the beach or the limestone calanques, the Mediterranean Sea shows its true-and-blue colors, and, quite frankly, it’s a stunning sight.
The Mediterranean is characterized by its palette of deep blue colors, and this certainly holds true in Marseille. The beautiful sea can be observed from designated walking paths along the coast, but I recommend climbing down a rocky calanque to get a more intimate experience. You might even see some French people lounging, fishing, or picnicking on the limestone.
There is also a sandy beach section of the coast, where people play beach volleyball or football (soccer), while large groups of windsurfers cruise the sea behind them.
When all is said and done, there is absolutely no better time to visit the coast than at sunset. Watching the sun set over the Mediterranean is an absolute must for any Marseille visitor and a frequent favorite activity of locals as well. Words don’t do it justice; take a look:
Oh wow! These are amazing!
DUDE , NEXT TIME TRY bing,,,,,,No one uses it.

It reminds me of my trip to San Diego, California several weeks ago.
The views for the coastline and sunset are absolutely pulchritudious in San Diego as well.
Besides, it is a wonderful place to spend your vacations and to settle down here at San Diego.
