Le Grau-du-Roi

The beach of l'Espiguette, located in Grau-du-Roi in the Gard, is one of the largest beaches in the Occitanie region. With its 600 meters wide and 3 kilometers long, it is a vast space of fine sand with a remote feel, perfect for lovers of wide open spaces.

This spot is particularly appreciated by kitesurfing schools that regularly offer lessons there. The immensity of the beach and the absence of obstacles make it an ideal place for learning and progression. It is an authentic place where everyone finds their own style of riding.
