Marseille stretches between the Old Port, the hills and the Mediterranean coastline. Vallon des Auffes is a small fishing harbour in the 7th arrondissement, recognisable by its boats, houses clustered around the basin and paths along the seafront. The neighbourhood has a more residential feel than the city centre’s shopping streets; it is suited to coastal walks, swimming and meals overlooking the harbour.

Several small beaches and coves line the coast, including Maldormé Beach, 450 m away, and Catalans Beach. Palais du Pharo, 1.2 km away, overlooks the entrance to the Old Port, and its gardens offer fine views across the bay. Mucem, 1.6 km away, hosts exhibitions dedicated to the civilisations of the Mediterranean, while Fort Saint-Jean forms part of the seafront’s historic route. To reach the city centre, the Old Port and its metro station are 2.1 km away; Saint-Charles railway station is 3.2 km away.

You can explore the coast on foot along Corniche Kennedy, stopping at beaches and viewpoints along the way. In summer, expect hot weather and crowds at swimming spots; spring and early autumn often make for more comfortable walking. You could spend a day walking around the harbour, visiting Mucem and returning via the Old Port. If you are planning an excursion to the calanques, check access and conditions for the day before setting out.
