"This was my first time visiting La Grande Motte, and I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the beach. It's relatively untouched, with only residential buildings lining the coast and all necessary amenities just a short distance away. I particularly enjoyed the super fine sand and the impressive length of the beach."

What to do in Sunset beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?
For those who wish to engage in something more extreme than a lazy holiday on the beach, it is worth noting that Sunset beach is excellent for surfing. This kind of activity is suitable for beginners and for professionals. The waves in this region you can see in the photos above or study the reviews by our users. And by the way, on the beach you can take surfing coaches!
Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Sunset beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.
