Why go camping by the sea this year: our 7 unbeatable arguments
This year, you feel like changing your vacation destination. But the choice is difficult due to the richness offered by the different regions of France. If you find yourself reading this article, it is probably because you are attracted to beach vacations. And you are considering the idea of staying at a campsite. Our challenge for this article is to provide you with arguments that will make you want to go camping by the sea.
Why choose camping as your vacation accommodation?
Before talking about seaside camping, let’s talk about camping in general. At a time when vacation accommodation options are multiplying, from the most traditional to the most unusual, camping remains a sure value. Proof of this is that in 10 years, its attendance has increased by 20%. Here are the main reasons.
1-The unique experience of camping stays
When you decide to stay at a campsite, you are not just choosing a vacation rental. You are choosing a way of life. For the rest of the year, we spend most of our time at work or indoors. Camping, on the other hand, is a real invitation to live outdoors. Whether it’s for meals, reading, or taking a nap, it is customary to engage in these activities outdoors during a camping stay.
A direct consequence of this lifestyle: you cannot ignore your neighbors. And very often, you end up sharing moments of conviviality with them. Whether it’s through a simple invitation to have a drink or by participating in camping activities, you are sure to make new friends.
2-The excellent value for money of camping vacations
There is no need to conduct in-depth research to realize that camping vacations are cheaper than a hotel stay or a vacation apartment rental. And even if the accommodation rates are sometimes equivalent, nothing can compete with the bonuses offered by campsites. Between increasingly well-equipped swimming pools, sports or cultural activities, and the organization of evenings, you will always come out a winner.
How does seaside camping stand out from other campsites?
Of course, you will find all these benefits at a seaside campsite. However, there are several reasons to prefer beach vacations. We present a few of them here.
3-The change of scenery provided by a seaside campsite
Whether you live in the city or the countryside for the rest of the year, you will certainly agree. Beach vacations are the surest way to experience a landscape that is not familiar to you. In addition to the fine sand or pebble beaches and the immensity of the sea, coastal areas generally have their own unique architecture. If you also have the opportunity to take a vacation rental with a sea view, you will be even luckier.
4-The benefits of beach vacations
Obviously, the previous point is a source of mental well-being. That said, going camping by the sea brings real health benefits in general. Indeed, the iodized air is charged with negative ions that help our lungs absorb oxygen better. This has positive effects on our immune system and helps fight stress or fatigue. Beach vacations seem to be a good remedy against the consequences of the hectic pace of our lives.
5-The pleasure of practicing water activities
Beach vacations mean water activities. Whatever your tastes or your tolerance for thrills, you will surely find something to do during your stay by the sea. Among the water activities to practice in the Mediterranean, we note:
- board sports, such as surfing (yes, you can surf in the Mediterranean!) or paddleboarding;
- sailing;
- motorized sports like jet-skiing;
- boat trips;
- or fishing.
馃搶 You may wonder how we know so much about seaside camping? It’s simple. Our campsite, Les Tamaris, is located by the Mediterranean Sea, on the C么te Bleue. This is why we will praise the merits of our beautiful PACA region in the last part of this article.
And what if you spent your next vacation at a campsite on the C么te Bleue?
The C么te Bleue is this portion of the Mediterranean coast, about twenty kilometers long, located between Marseille and Martigues. It owes its name to the turquoise to deep blue of its waters. An ideal place to set up a campsite.
6-The richness of vacations in the Bouches-du-Rh么ne
By choosing a campsite on the C么te Bleue, you ensure exceptional vacations. With its 3000 hours of sunshine per year, we can certify that the Bouches-du-Rh么ne is the destination to prioritize for sunny vacations. But it is much more than a guarantee of good weather. This department is an extraordinary terroir, a rich heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and, of course, the beautiful city of Marseille.
7-The charm of the C么te Bleue and Martigues
If we had to sum up this stretch of the Mediterranean coast in one word, we would choose “authenticity” without hesitation. The beaches of the C么te Bleue are coves that resemble the calanques of Marseille and offer a real postcard landscape. It is a territory that recalls the Provence of yesteryear, far from the flashy side of the C么te d’Azur. It is also a preserved nature, small fishing ports, and pine forests that have resisted mass tourism. And, of course, it is Martigues, the Proven莽al Venice, which is worth visiting.
All these reasons make the Pausado group proud of its campsite in Martigues. And if you needed an additional reason to spend your stay with us, here it is. We are committed to developing an environmentally friendly campsite. With this final argument, it is impossible not to know where to stay on the C么te Bleue.
Have we succeeded in making you want to go camping by the sea? We are pretty sure we have. And if you decide to come to our campsite on the C么te Bleue, we would be delighted. You only have one thing left to do: book your stay!
