Coastal area of Marseille/ Montpellier

[binkylilyput]

Where should I head to for nice beaches etc?

I'm going to be in France and want to head to that region for a few beachy days. Lazy days at the beach, swimming in the sea, eating at some nice little restaurants. That kind of thing. Nothing glitzy like Cannes or St Tropez!

Anyone know the area and can recommend a good area to stay? I was thinking of maybe getting an AirBnB

Thanks!

Marseille: Le Panier (old town) district is very cool.

We did a long walk down the JFK boulevard and spotted beaches. Warning: lots of them are private i.e. associated with a restaurant/bar. There are public beaches though

La Ciotat SE of Marseille is worth checking out, nice port and beaches, some very secluded.

If you are of a nervous disposition avoid the 'libertines' beaches of Cap d'Agde...:)
