Kayaking Les Calanques

Today we drove to Cassis bright and early and started the day with a 3 hour sea-kayaking trek into the Calanques of the Méditerranée. The Calanques are tall white cliffs surrounding narrow teal-blue baus with picturesque beaches along the shore. The Calanques we kayak to are not reachable by car. Either a 2 hour hike in the heat, or by sea. Stopped for a swim and some beach time at Calanque En vau.

So many amazing photos….I’ll try not to post too many.

The winds were a little high today which meant for some rougher seas. Quite the workout as we battled the wind and some decent swells. But what a great experience.

Followed the morning with a walk around Cassis and lunch at a resto in the port recommended by our guide.

Had to at least wet our feet at the beach before heading back home. The water today was really cold, apparently the Mistral winds have stirred up the sea which makes it pretty chilly…similar to the temps we had in Normandy along the Atlantic. Not too cold for the hearty Canucks:)
