Emblematic of the Mediterranean coastline, Le Grau-du-Roi is one of its most famous seaside resorts. With its small picturesque fishing port, its marina, its preserved environment and its magnificent beaches, Le Grau-du-Roi is undoubtedly one of the best destinations for sports holidays under the legendary sun of southern France.
A land of tradition, dynamic, cultural, lively and touristy, Le Grau-du-Roi is located in the Gard region, on the border of the Hérault. One of the largest marinas in Europe with more than 4600 berths in its Port-Camargue, the internationally renowned seaside resort is one of the most popular in the Occitanie region. Built around the canal linking the inland ponds to the sea, the city center of Le Grau-du-Roi is both picturesque and lively: you will love to stroll along its narrow streets to discover its church, its old lighthouse, and its magnificent Belle Époque villas such as the Maison du Dauphin or the Villa Paris. After visiting its quiet residential areas, don't miss the Boucanet and the Port-Camargue area. The ports of Grau-du-Roi are essential and have been the rhythm of life in the seaside resort for many years: you will find many trawlers, whose return at the end of the day is frequently welcomed by onlookers and visitors, curious and greedy people who come directly to buy freshly caught fish.
In terms of natural heritage, we can only strongly advise you to visit one of the most important sites in the region: the Pointe de l'Espiguette. Protected, the Pointe de l'Espiguette is a wild natural site stretching over nearly 18 kilometers; with its white dunes as far as the eye can see, its marshy areas, its particular flora and its numerous species of birds, the place lends itself marvelously to family walks with the Mediterranean in the background. Its beach, the "Plage de l'Espignette", is renowned for being one of the most beautiful in the whole of the Camargue: almost deserted, it is a real paradise for nature lovers and wilderness enthusiasts, which will appeal to families as much as to holidaymakers in search of peace and quiet. You can get there via a 5-kilometer bicycle path, linking the seaside to the city center of Grau-du-Roi.
When you think of Grau-du-Roi, you instantly imagine its 18 kilometers of fine sand bordered by the warm, turquoise waters of the Mediterranean... and rightly so, since it is the water that has made the reputation and history of the town. Whether you are a simple contemplative, a passionate swimmer or a sportsman who loves the latest in water sports, you are bound to find what you are looking for in Grau-du-Roi. Also, there are many water activities available along the beaches of the resort: you can windsurf, jet-ski, surf, catamaran, windsurf, kitesurf, fish, go for sea rides, but also scuba dive and get your boat license.
Take advantage of your presence in Grau-du-Roi to visit the surrounding area! La Grande Motte, Aigues-Mortes and its salt marshes, Montpellier, the Pont du Gard and Uzès are less than an hour away, Arles and the Camargue will soon have no secrets for you. Finally, if in spite of all these ideas of visits you are still thirsty for discoveries, the city of Grau-du-Roi could still hold many surprises for you... Take a trip to the Flamingo Casino, visit the Jullian manade, the Dunes manade, take a ticket to attend a typical Camargue equestrian cabaret to vibrate to the rhythm of a great gypsy fiesta, take a trip to the Amigoland amusement park, to the Aquarama park, attend a Languedocian Joust show, visit the city's arenas, go through the municipal boulodrome of the Victor Hugo alley to see if there is any shooting or shooting... Take the little tourist train, climb into a horse-drawn carriage to discover the city, ride a bicycle or a rosalie on the greenway, visit the Seaquarium and eat an ice cream on the old port facing the sea: the perfect activity to complete the picture of a successful vacation.
