Calanques de Sormiou

It was madddd busy, girl I was made overstimulating on the beach. The toilets were fab tho. It did have a livestock rank to it, but it was a good time :) the rating is for the beach not for the restroom, really it was that nutty there.

A very nice hiking area. The beach is beautiful, the walks can be a bit challenging since it has some pretty steep parts, but it’s overall doable. I just recommend sport shoes to wear.

This is a pretty calanque with a nice hike to get to it (there’s a less inspiring path that’s 45-min to the bottom or a much nicer but still easy, less direct 1.5-hr walk to the bottom). At the bottom is a charming little village with a few homes, a small marina, a large beach and a little cove. Sadly the large packed-sand beach, which is why most people come and is easily accessible, is uninspiring, crowded and has graffiti. If you can find the small cove with its pebble beach and get away from the crowds, it’s a nice day out. But it’s not a calanque I feel the need to go back to - others are nicer.

Highly recommend! Here is just amazing! The ocean water is sooo clean and beautiful ☀️ only took 45 minutes to get there. Don’t forget bring some water and snacks😉

DO NOT FOLLOW THE GOOGLE ROUTE! The 1.5 hrs hike might seem like a good idea but if you are not prepared even to climb down a few parts don’t do it. Also in our case no Bolt or Freenow would come pick us up after so be prepared to hike all the way back to town.

Beautiful beach but beware of a gang who will bully you on the beach without reason.

Perfecto weekend hike from Madrid

Incredible beach and cottages around. Crystal water and peaceful atmosphere. Must go!
