A preserved natural jewel
Located to the south of Pomègues island, part of the Frioul archipelago, the calanque de Flancadou is a remarkable natural site. It stands out for its heart shape and houses three small beaches, offering visitors an intimate and serene setting.
Access and route
To reach the calanque from the Frioul port, it is advisable to follow the Astragales trail after passing the Poméguet tower. The first access leads to a rocky beach, while continuing for about a hundred meters, two other smaller, more pleasant beaches reveal themselves. It is recommended to arrive early to fully enjoy these restricted spaces.
Beach characteristics
The beaches of the calanque de Flancadou are mainly composed of rocks and pebbles, with some sandy areas. Although their size is modest, they offer an authentic and preserved experience, away from the tourist crowds. The proximity to the beaches of La Crine may influence visitors’ choices in search of tranquility.
Visitor tips
Before planning a visit, it is essential to inquire about access conditions, particularly during the summer when certain restrictions may be in place to preserve the fragile ecosystem of the calanques. It is also recommended to bring enough water and wear suitable shoes for the rocky trails.
The calanque de Flancadou is an ideal destination for nature lovers looking to discover an authentic and preserved place near Marseille.
