Our opinion on the Beauduc beach

Adresse of the Beauduc beach : Rte de Beauduc 13129 Salin de Giraud

Beauduc beach in Camargue is one of the last completely wild beaches in France. Located 11 km from Salin de Giraud, it's difficult to access. We find a vast stretch of sand that travels over several kilometers and is bordered by ponds (watch out for mosquitos...).

Beauduc has long been a giant wild campground, but the rules have gotten more strict. From the point of Sablon (direction Beauduc lighthouse), motor vehicles are now prohibited and only camping is allowed in a certain area.

Beauduc is equally one of the most reputed kitesurfing areas due to high wind.

To get to this beach from the center of Salin de Giraud, take the road toward Belugue. Follow the paved road for several kilometers then arrive to an area where the road is in bad shape (drive slowly on the 6.6 km route – pay attention to the limited width near the Tourvieille ruins). After a 45 minute drive you'll arrive at the beach's parking lot.

Arriving at Beauduc, on the right, we see many cars parked directly on the beach. We are on the kitesurfing zone (one of the most reputed spots in France).

Numerous dunes cover several kilometers toward Saintes Maries de la Mer passing by the Gacholle lighthouse.

Beach of Beauduc and view on Piemanson beach - France

Going east, the beach offers an endless stretch of sand to the mouth of the Rhone (we see the Faraman lighthouse and the Piemanson Beach).

At the edge of the beach, we find several huts (the majority were destroyed in the 2000s).

The beach is difficult to access! In this photo, we see the road which takes us through Camargue and leads us to the beach. It is 6.5 km long and in bad condition, with many holes. Drive carefully.
