The famous skate park, simply known as the "bowl," is the place where skaters and skateboarders, riders of all ages and different levels gather to share unique moments of fun and leisure and where everyone is free to try new tricks. Created by Jean-Pierre Collinet, the Skate Park features several boat hulls and each hull represents an endless wave. The largest is 2.70 meters (eight feet) deep. Each spring and summer several events and competitions are held, with many international skateboard superstars in attendance. The Skate Park of Marseille is located only a few steps from the sea, near the Escale Borely.

Calanque de Sormiou is a protected area which is frequented by hikers and climbers who come from all over France to experience and enjoy such exquisite surroundings. The panoramic view, which can be reached by following the Douane path, is well worth the several hour walk, offering an unrivaled picture of the Rioul Islands archipelago and the resplendent and ever-changing tones of sea ranging from turquoise to deep dark blue. In summer, access by car is restricted to minimize risk of forest fires. Take the autoroute D908 to head to Sormiou.

The first inlet you come across after Les Goudes appears to have been chiseled out of the rock face. From the road steads of the Calanque de Callelongue, look out over the majestic sea which leads the eye on to countless panoramas of Marseilles and a host of little islands. Close by are the islands of Jarre and Jarron, and a little further out you can see the island of Riou from where the sea stretches out into infinity. This is a beautiful waterfront spot, carrying the spirit of an old fishing village. Do not miss!
