Seaside tourism from every angle, naturally, but not only!
Crossed on both sides by the Hérault river, which ends its 147-kilometer journey at Grau-d’Agde, this Mediterranean department bordering Aude, Gard, Tarn and Aveyron is not only defined by its water-based leisure activities. A whole host of activities and discoveries await you during your stay in Cap-d’Agde, Hérault. In short, there are plenty of good reasons to discover the Hérault!
Sea-side holidays in Hérault
On the Mediterranean coast, Cap-d’Agde and the other resorts along the Hérault coastline offer a wide range of leisure activities and underwater views. In the heart of the Natura 2000 site “Posidonies du Cap-d’Agde”, the marked underwater trail in the cove of “La Grande Conque” is not to be missed: discovery of underwater flora and fauna, black sand beach, panoramic views of the “Rocher des 2 Frères” as well as the Fort de Brescou, the Richelieu jetty… A must-do activity for all ages in Cap-d’Agde.
Just 15 minutes from Cap-d’Agde, the western beach of Portiragnes, surrounded by the Riviérette and Grande Maïre ponds, is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Hérault. And did you know? Hérault is the department with the most Blue Flag bathing areas! So you can take a dip in complete peace of mind at the major Hérault resorts as well as the more family-friendly ones: Carnon Plage, Marseillan Plage, Palavas-les-Flots, Sérignan, Sète…
Pondside
There’s more to the Hérault than the sea – there’s also the ponds! And one of the special features of the Languedoc region between land and sea that shapes the Hérault coastline is a nugget: Thau! The largest body of water in the Occitanie region, this vast lagoon complex is ideal for 1,000 and 1 activities. Here are just a few: Bouzigues oyster tasting, diving among endemic species (seahorses, cuttlefish, wolves…), hiking or cycling on the lookout for its exceptional biodiversity (sea rushes, pink flamingos, seagulls…), cruises departing from Balaruc-les-Bains, visits to a Natura 2000 site rich in over 260 bird species crossed by the Canal du Midi, Bagnas… There’s something for everyone on your vacation in the Hérault!
