Carry-le-Rouet is a seaside resort located 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of Marseille by highway A55, then route D5, set at the foot of pine-covered hills.

From December to February every year is held the famous "oursinades", a tasting of sea urchins and various shellfish which are ultra fresh, plentiful, and delicious. Many connoisseurs take part in this festival.
