It is a highly sought-after spot for sailing navigation. Diving and sailing schools are available. Mountain bikes can be rented in Carry le Rouet.

Off the village, the Blue Coast's National Marine Park Reserve generates marine animal-life and flora and is famous for its sea urchins. Those little beasts live in shallow water and can reach 8 cm in diameter ! But the only edible part of the "oursin"(in French) is the coral. Tasting requires no cooking or preparation, just a twist of lemon. At Sausset les Pins in January and at Carry le Rouet in February, the sea urchin rules : it’s the time of the local "oursinades" with on-the-spot tasting at the port. Urchins should not be picked up in the summer. A will also find a Leisure Park, a few minutes from Carry le Rouet.

A few kilometers to the North, the village of Martigues has been baptized "Venise provençale" by Vincent Scotto because of the canals that join up its neighborhood. Martigues is more than just a port, it is a real lakeside town where hundreds of boats glide through the ever-changing waters of the lagoon. The town and the Etang de Berre attracted many painters such as Ziem or Corot, of which the favorite spot was always the "miroir aux oiseaux". During summertime, the open-air cafés allow one to relish the delights of sardines and mouclades. A few kilometers from the town is the colorful port of Carro. The Blue Coast has different kind of beaches : near Carro and the Cap Couronne are some sandy beaches but most of the shores host shingle or rocky beaches.
