Port de plaisance de La Ciotat
La Ciotat's Port de Plaisance sits tucked along the Mediterranean coast between the historic Port Vieux and the town's iconic shipyards, giving it a genuinely working-harbor character you won't find at slicker marinas. It's split across two separate basins joined by a wide central platform, so there's plenty of room to get oriented. La Ciotat itself is worth your time — it's the birthplace of cinema (the Lumière brothers screened films here) and has a solid old town to wander once you're tied up.
