CAPAGATHOISE HIKE FROM PORT TO BEACH

1

Starting point: Office de Tourisme - Palais des Congrès. To start the tour, follow the signs for the Centre Port as far as the Ferris Wheel.

2

The Cap d'Agde marina: from the Ferris wheel, visit the various quays around the Marina island, lined with stores and restaurants, and enjoy the view of the boats.

3

Plage Richelieu: the sandy beach in front of you is the perfect place to relax, and during the summer season you can take a break in one of the straw huts.

4

Fort Brescou: erected in 1856 by Viscount Guillaume de Joyeuse to prevent the rock from being used as a stronghold by the Spanish during the Wars of Religion.

5

Mail de Rochelongue: admire the magnificent view of the beach and the Mediterranean Sea along this path. Take advantage of the urban facilities for a picnic, while children can enjoy a playground and sports area. Take a break from shopping and dining, and dance to the sound of live music in summer.

6

The dunes: all along the walk, notice the installation of ganivelles: wooden stakes used to reconstitute the dune cordon and protect the coastline. They provide a natural habitat for flora and fauna and promote biodiversity.

7

Directional: at the traffic circle at the exit from Ile des Loisirs, turn left towards the gate of the Alhambra residence and cross to the right to join the footpath.

In case of emergency, call 112.
