Getting here
From Cassis: Port-Pin calanque is about 45 minutes on foot from the town centre. A shuttle operates between Cassis and Port-Miou calanque, then walk to Port-Pin.
From there, it is also possible to walk to En-Vau. Beware: this can be a very difficult walk due to steep trails, particularly in summer: make sure you are prepared.

Before heading out to visit the Calanques National Park, make sure you are prepared and read about good conduct and regulations here.
The calanque is open to visitors all year round. The surrounding hills are also open to visitors, except when closed due to fire danger.
Note: Port-Pin is overcrowded in summer, particularly for swimming. Take public transport to Cassis when possible. The car parks are often full. Respect the natural environment: take your rubbish with you and do not create noise pollution.
