Bulling on the Espiguette beach, a site unique in Europe!
If we say Grau-du-Roi? Of course, you’ll answer Plage de l’Espiguette. It’s impossible not to be familiar with this mythical site, which has been used as a backdrop for numerous photo shoots and film shoots. An infinite tongue of white sand untouched by construction, dunes some up to 12 m high, soft light reflected by crystal-clear water… In short, this is not a postcard setting! Never crowded, even in summer, it’s the ideal place to recharge your batteries. And the gently sloping entrance to the water is perfect for tribes with little wolves.
A Blue Flag resort, Le Grau-du-Roi offers no less than 18 km of fine sandy beaches with the excellent water quality of the Mediterranean Sea. For those with a taste for the sea, there’s a choice of water sports: towed buoys, bodyboarding, jet skiing, paddle boarding, sea walks, fishing, sailing… The more adventurous can try their hand at kite surfing, a natural sport invented on the beaches of Occitanie! L’Espiguette, with its wild panorama, serenity and constant wind, is a magical spot.
