The Beaches
The Mediterranean seaside is ideal for swimming, lounging, long walks, water activities, or having a drink on a private beach.
Strolls, relaxation, and swimming
The Montpellier coastline is a charming coastline with its numerous beaches and marinas. The Mediterranean seafront is ideal for swimming, relaxation, long walks, water sports, or even a drink on a private beach.
Palavas-les-flots offers no less than 7 km of family beach and quality sports facilities. It is notably an excellent spot for beach volleyball, windsurfing, jet skiing, and kite surfing. Its market attracts many visitors.
The port of Carnon, entirely pedestrian, invites you for a walk of about 3 km not far from the beaches. Located between Carnon and La Grande Motte, the beaches of Petit and Grand Travers are long strips of fine sand bordered by dunes.
The Couchant beach at La Grande Motte will appeal to families and lovers of water sports. You benefit from the proximity of the shops and restaurants of the "Couchant Shops".
