Le Grau-du-Roi and L'Espiguette beach

A former fishing village on the Mediterranean, Le Grau-du-Roi has kept its lively harbour and the channel where the trawlers come in. Nearby, L’Espiguette beach is one of the finest unspoilt stretches of the coast, with its dunes and lighthouse.

From Le Moulin Bérénice: About 35 minutes by car.

Don’t miss

  • L’Espiguette beach : miles of fine sand lined with dunes and no buildings.
  • L’Espiguette lighthouse, standing among the dunes.
  • The fishing harbour and channel, to watch the boats come in and enjoy fish and shellfish.
  • Port-Camargue, one of the largest marinas in Europe.
  • The Seaquarium, a favourite with children.

Good to know

In summer, arrive early: the Espiguette car park fills up fast.
