Plage du Pilou, Coastal beach in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, France.
Plage du Pilou is a coastal beach in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone with fine sand and natural dune vegetation along the Mediterranean shore. The area remains largely undeveloped and preserves the natural character of this coastline.
The beach forms part of an ancient coastal region where natural sand deposits connected the former island of Maguelone to mainland France. The area reflects this geological history and shows how the coastline developed over time.
Local residents maintain natural preservation traditions by organizing regular beach cleaning events and supporting protected zones for native bird species.
Visitors can reach the beach on foot using a dedicated walkway or by a seasonal train running from April to September. Parking is available near the entrance for those traveling by car.
A section of the beach is designated for naturists who wish to enjoy the shoreline without clothing. Pink flamingos often congregate in the nearby waters, particularly during their migration season.
