Carro combines coastal landscapes, harbour life and the traces of stone quarrying. At Plage de Carro, different beach landscapes come together: it consists partly of sand and partly of pebbles and is located a few metres from a small fishing and sports harbour. When favourable Mediterranean winds create waves, visitors surf at Plage de Carro.
Nature
The great botanical importance of the plaine de Carro is largely related to a special substrate. This means that the coast is not only characterised by its beach and harbour surroundings, but also by a landscape with a distinctive botanical character.
Paths and Activities
The voie verte de Carro aux Laurons is a 1.5 km-long coastal path between Carro and Les Laurons. It can be used by cyclists and pedestrians and is equipped with information boards about the local flora and fauna.
Windsurfing is possible at the Spot de voile de Carro. Coastal diving is possible for experienced divers at the ancient Baou-Tailla quarry, which is located in the water.
History and Harbour Life
The Croix de Carro at the harbour commemorates sailors who lost their lives at sea. Baou Tailla is one of the best-preserved coastal quarries. The quarries of Baou Tailla were used for stone extraction by quarry workers who lived in La Couronne and Carro.
At the Marché aux poissons de Carro, fishermen sell their catch directly after returning from the trawler trips, provided that weather conditions allow them to go out to sea.
