Arles

The Piémanson beach, located near Salin-de-Giraud in Camargue, is a vast stretch of sand nearly six kilometers west of the mouth of the Grand Rhône. It is a wild spot with dunes and rare plants, with no hotels or restaurants for miles around. Access is via a bumpy dirt track from Arles, and parking is limited from 6 AM to 10 PM in a regulated area.

The beach is shared between swimming, naturism on the left side up to the Rhône – the largest naturist beach in France – and kitesurfing in the authorized zones. Three kite schools offer lessons on-site, making it an ideal place to learn.

The atmosphere is 100% nature, with a fire station for safety, and it is one of the most beautiful spots in southern France for riders.
