Location & what to see
Saména is in Marseille’s 8th arrondissement, on the city’s southern coast. The neighbourhood combines small beaches, coastal roads and rocky terrain, with a focus on the sea rather than the main thoroughfares of the centre. The Calanques are the area’s defining landscape; walks alternate between the shore, pine forests and views over the Mediterranean. This part of Marseille suits travellers who want to spend time outdoors and explore the coast while staying in France’s second-largest city.
Calanques National Park begins nearby, with trails, coves and hiking routes. Sablettes Beach is 1.1 km away, and several other beaches line the coast towards Pointe Rouge and Bonneveine. Château Pastré and its park offer another option for a walk, away from the seafront. To reach the centre, Rond-Point du Prado metro station is 5 km away; Saint-Charles railway station is 8 km away. Marseille-Provence Airport is 23 km away.
The coast is particularly enjoyable to explore on foot, with breaks by the water; suitable footwear is useful for the Calanques trails. Beaches and coves are very busy in summer, while spring and the shoulder season often offer good conditions for walking and enjoying the coast. A day can combine a hike in the park, time at a local beach and an evening in central Marseille’s neighbourhoods.
