Plage du lydia, Sandy beach in Port Barcarès, France.
The Plage du Lydia extends along the Mediterranean coast, featuring golden sand and clear waters bordered by palm trees and modern sculptures.
In the late 1960s, authorities deliberately beached a substantial passenger ship on the shore, transforming this section of the French coastline into a landmark destination.
The beach includes an outdoor art gallery called Allee des Arts, displaying contemporary sculptures that connect the maritime heritage with modern artistic expression.
Visitors can access free parking near the gendarmerie, use designated areas for barbecues, and find numerous amenities including showers and accessible facilities.
The permanently beached passenger ship houses a casino and nightclub, creating an unusual entertainment venue directly on the Mediterranean shoreline.
