Bec de l'Aigle (Eagle's beak)
The rock of the bec de l’aigle is recognizable by its size and by its shape. From la Ciotat, it looks like a round mass, and from cap Canaille it looks like a peak.
It is made of a particular stone, called « Poudingue », made of concentrated shingles, up to the top of the cliffs. It is located at the very west of la Ciotat bay, next to Ile Verte, and it overhangs the beautiful Mugel park. The calanque de Figuerolles is nearby.
