Plage du Couchant, Mediterranean beach in La Grande-Motte, France
This 2-kilometer stretch of sand along the Mediterranean Sea features clean waters and wide open spaces for swimming and sunbathing activities.
The beach emerged as part of La Grande-Motte's coastal development program in the 1960s, transforming the regional landscape into a marine recreation destination.
The waterfront promenade connects multiple entertainment venues, restaurants, and social spaces that reflect the Mediterranean lifestyle of southern France.
Visitors can access changing rooms, showers, and lifeguard stations, while numerous parking spaces are available near the beach entrance points.
The beach location offers direct views of both sunrise and sunset, with the western orientation creating extended daylight hours for evening activities.
