There are also very crowded and popular beaches in the surroundings. First of all, the beach of Le Grau-du-Roi, a large sandy beach located between La Camargue and Hérault beaches.

The beach has preserved its natural beauty and it is equipped with showers, toilets, shops and parking lots.

Plage su Nord and Plage du Sud are closer to Port de Camargue, while Espiguette beach is a little souther. It's a 18-kilometre-long sandy beach, surrounded by very high and wild dunes.
