Mar Vivo beach

The beach and its surroundings

Mar Vivo continues on from Les Sablettes, but the beach is narrower. It is part of the same bay, with less room to settle in when busy. If you are visiting as a family with plenty of bags, check the space available before carrying everything down.

The promenade between the two areas varies the views over the bay and makes cafés or restaurants easy to find again. It also works outside summer, when the main pleasure is walking beside the sea and watching the light change.

There are plenty of waterfront establishments around the wider Sablettes area. Their presence does not guarantee an available table at your preferred time, especially in summer; book if lunch is central to the outing. If coming from Toulon by boat, include the walk from Mar Vivo to the landing stage in your return schedule.

Tourist information describes a family beach with seasonal lifeguards. The narrow beach can reduce comfortable places to settle. For a large group or specific accessibility needs, compare the facilities at Les Sablettes rather than assuming they continue unchanged along the entire shore.
