The calanque of la Redonne is a calanque located below the town of Ensuès la Redonne on the Blue Coast. On one side, there is the port with the viaduct in the background, and on the other side, there are two small beaches. The Dugué beach, which has sandy shores, and the second beach is located under the second portion of the viaduct and consists of pebbles. Apart from these small beaches, the rocks around the calanque are quite difficult to access for swimming.
The calanque de la Redonne is the obligatory passage to reach the calanque of Méjean by road. On foot, it is possible to reach the calanque des Anthénors, which is located 700m away. On the western side, you will discover the small port of Madrague de Gignac, and then the customs officers' path that leads to the beautiful calanque des Eaux salées, just before reaching Carry-le-Rouet.

Route:
The calanque de la Redonne is accessible from the Rove road, which crosses the Côte Bleue at Ensuès la Redonne. Parking spaces are limited near the port.
In that case, you will need to park in the few spaces near the train station or further up in the parking lot before the hairpin bends that descend towards the calanque.
From April to October, access to the calanques is regulated for vehicles. For more information, please refer to: Entering the calanques. It is important to note, especially during this period, that from the parking lot located at the barrier that closes off the calanque, there is still a descent of 70m in elevation to reach the sea.
