Calanque Beach Near Cassis, France

May 06, 2015 by Megan Walker

We took a road trip to the Calanque National Park near Cassis. The trip took us from the foothills of the Pyrenees, through the Rhone Valley and chaotic Marseille, to this national park. Calanques are similar to the fjords of Norway, deep inlets off the sea, some of which hide beautiful secluded beaches.

This was as far as I was willing to go - crazy cold

Current Mediterranean rock-skipping record stands at 4

This was where the hike started
