Beach overall scores
Espiguette wild beach (Gard) region (Camargue sub-region) is located outside the Le Grau-du-Roi settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Espiguette wild beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beach boasts an abundance of sand and sunshine, with breathtaking ocean views. It's recommended to bring an umbrella and sandals, as there are no showers available to rinse off the sand. While the nude section was not explored, the overall experience left a lasting impression."
Nathan Lee-Smith
"The beach had lovely yellow sand and plenty of room to spread out. There were vendors selling refreshments from small carts, but there seemed to be more people than I had anticipated. Unfortunately, our section of the beach was designated as not allowing naturism, which was a surprise."
