The Belvedere de Sugiton overlooks the Calanque de Sugiton and the coastline of the national park, with turquoise water between limestone cliffs. It lies on the Luminy path to Sugiton, about 30 minutes on foot from Luminy according to the tourist office. Morning light on the water gives the strongest colour. The belvedere and the calanque are inside the Calanques National Park, where Sugiton needs a free reservation on set days (in 2026: 20-21 June, every day from 27 June to 30 August, 5-6 and 12-13 September) at troov.com/parc-national-des-calanques/rendez-vous, and the prefecture fire map applies from 1 June to 30 September.
