Port Camargue Plage Nord, Sand beach in Port Camargue, France.
Port Camargue Plage Nord is a sandy beach alongside the marina at Le Grau-du-Roi, extending along the northern waterfront. The shore features natural dunes and coastal plants along a walking path that runs parallel to the water's edge.
This beach took shape in the 1960s when Port Camargue marina was built as part of a major European coastal development. The construction of the harbor fundamentally reshaped the local shoreline and created both the marina and this sandy beach area.
The beach draws locals and visitors who appreciate being near the working marina and watching daily maritime activity. For many people in the area, these shores are part of everyday life where they walk, swim, or simply enjoy the coast.
The beach can be accessed through designated entry points near numbers 47 and 48, where lifeguards are on duty during summer months. Wheelchair access and equipment rental services are available at several spots along the shore to help visitors enjoy their time here.
The northern section benefits from steady winds that make it popular with kitesurfers and windsurfers seeking good riding conditions. These wind patterns are a key reason why this part of the beach attracts a different crowd than the calmer spots nearby.
