The beaches close to Beziers-Cap d'Agde in the southern Herault department, Languedoc-Roussillon, are characterized by long swathes of sandy beaches and modern beach resorts which offer a range of good facilities. In particular the beach resort at Le Cap d'Agde - Languedoc-Roussillon's premier beach resort - offers eleven excellent beaches giving plenty of choice of activities for all tastes and all ages. Le Cap d'Agde is also linked to the ancient city of Agde - well worth a visit for its delightful warren of streets in the old city centre with artisan shops and boutiques. The more southerly resort of Valras Plage offers a huge range of activities and fun for all the family and you can get here fro Beziers on a local bus costing a few cents.

If large resorts are not your idea of a beach holiday, then you can try the smaller more secluded stretches of beach at Farinette, Redoute, Serignan, Vendres and Les Cabanes-de-Fleury. Here you will discover mile after mile of golden sand, family beaches, gay beaches and nudists beaches.

To the north of Le Cap d'Agde is the impressive saltwater Thau Lagoon, and here you will find a number of pretty fishing towns and villages and some lovely little beaches such as those at Marseillan Plage and Meze. and also the vast length of sandy beach leading up to one of our favorite towns, Sete.
