Plage Est, Sand beach in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France
Plage Est is a wide sandy beach along the coastline of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer with gently sloping shores and fine sand. The water is clear and extends far out, making it suitable for swimming and water activities.
This location served as part of a fishing community for generations before becoming a leisure destination in the 20th century. The area benefited from growing tourism along the French Mediterranean coast.
The beach draws visitors who embrace the relaxed Mediterranean way of life along France's southern coast. People gather here to swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the casual social atmosphere that defines this coastal community.
The beach offers changing rooms, showers, and equipment rentals during the warmer months. Visitors should note that the best conditions occur from June through September.
The beach borders the Camargue wetlands where pink flamingos and wild horses roam in their natural habitat nearby. This proximity to unspoiled nature makes a visit here particularly interesting.
