Grand Travers, Sand beach in La Grande-Motte, France
Grand Travers is a sand beach along the Mediterranean coast with fine sand and regular waves. The wide shoreline offers ample space for swimmers and sunbathers throughout the warm season.
This beach developed as part of La Grande-Motte, a resort town built in the 1960s during a large-scale coastal development program. The new town transformed this region into a vacation destination.
This stretch draws people who gather for seasonal activities like beach volleyball and sand sculpture competitions. These gatherings form part of the local summer rhythm along this Mediterranean coastline.
Dogs are welcome year-round at access point 60, with dedicated parking located directly near the beach entrance. This area works well if you are coming with a pet or prefer a quieter section.
A designated section allows dogs to swim freely in the Mediterranean, making this a favorite spot for pet owners. This freedom in the water is rarely found at other beaches nearby.
