Plage du Grau du Roi

Plage du Grau du Roi, also known as Plage Rive Droite, is a popular beach situated in Le Grau-du-Roi, a town in the Gard department of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in France. The beach is located near the city center and the port, on the right bank of the Rhône to Sète canal. It is an extension of Boucanet Beach and is notable for its close proximity to the city center. The beach is characterized by its pleasant waters and is known for its quiet ambiance, especially outside of the summer period. Despite the numerous buildings along the shoreline, visitors find the beach to be a charming location. The beach is large and well-maintained, providing a clean and pleasant environment for visitors. The beach is less crowded in the summer compared to other locations, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more peaceful beach experience. The left bank of the beach is particularly popular with visitors. There are a few private beaches on this stretch of coastline, and the beach becomes more natural and enjoyable when moving about 500 meters away from the city center. Although it is not supervised by lifeguards, the beach offers various amenities and leisure activities. Parking at Plage du Grau du Roi is convenient, with several options available. These include a parking lot near the roundabout before reaching the Super-U supermarket, a small parking area on the quay of the right bank accessible via Rue du Vidourle, and a free parking lot in front of the college. The beach is also easily accessible for tourists, being just 10 minutes by car from the station.
