Plage de la Romaniquette

Plage de la Romaniquette is a recreational beach on the eastern shore of Istres that opens onto the Étang de Berre lagoon. The site features sandy areas, access points to the water, and basic facilities including showers and restrooms.

This beach area was substantially developed in recent years with the addition of modern facilities and educational nature trails. Such improvements transformed it into a more organized recreational destination.

The beach serves as a gathering spot where locals enjoy summer evenings and family outings along the water. It reflects how residents of Istres use the shoreline as part of their daily rhythm during warm months.

The beach has lifeguard coverage during summer months and provides parking options including accessible spaces for people with disabilities. Arriving early helps secure a good spot, especially on weekends when the beach fills up quickly.

A nature trail winds through the reed beds of the lagoon, letting visitors explore the local wetland environment while staying close to swimming areas. This path creates an unusual opportunity to observe wildlife and water habitats during the same visit.
