Calanque de Morgiou is one of the deepest of the calanques — the narrow limestone fjords that cut into the coast of the Calanques National Park between Marseille and Cassis. The cove extends about 700 metres inland from the open sea, with vertical white cliffs on both sides rising to 300 metres above the water. A small fishing village at the head of the calanque holds about 60 cabanons (fisherman's huts), a single restaurant, and a few moorings on the wooden quay. The cove's entrance is also the location of the Cosquer Cave, an underwater entrance leading to a 27,000-year-old painted prehistoric chamber 37 metres below the surface. Morgiou is 30 minutes from Marseille and 60 minutes from Cassis by sail. Season runs April through October.
The main attraction of La Calanque de Morgiou is its beautiful beach, which features soft sand and crystal-clear waters. Visitors can relax on the shore, swim in the calm bay, or snorkel to explore the underwater marine life. The beach is surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, creating a picturesque backdrop for sunbathing and beachcombing.
La Calanque de Morgiou offers several hiking trails that wind through the surrounding hills and along the coastline. These trails provide stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the rugged landscape of the calanque. Popular routes include the Sentier des Douaniers (Customs Officers' Path), which follows the coastline, and the Chemin de la Gardiole, which leads to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the calanque.
