Family-Friendly
Not every great day by the sea needs a long drive. Some of the best spots hide in plain sight, just around the corner from a city most people only know for its naval port. The Magaud and Méjean coves, twenty minutes from the villa, are exactly that: clear water, an underwater snorkelling trail, old fishermen's huts, and a coastal walk linking the two.
What to do
Follow the self-guided underwater trail with a mask and snorkel, walk the coastal path between the coves, and soak up the postcard scene of painted fishermen's huts. It's family-friendly and gloriously close to home.
Practical information
Getting there: about 20 minutes from the villa by car. Limited parking near both coves, so arrive early in summer.
Access: on foot from the Corniche Mistral; some steep paths down to the coves.
Underwater trail: free and self-guided; bring your own snorkelling gear. Best on a calm day with good visibility.
Best time: summer mornings, before the parking fills.
Mauricette's Tip
Pair the coves with a tasting at nearby Clos Cibonne, or the sea caves at Pointe Sainte-Marguerite along the coast.
An underwater trail twenty minutes from the villa. See the house and book direct.
