Lying between the Languedoc National Park and the sprawling Mediterranean coastline is the quaint medieval town of Pezenas. Beaches are located about 20 minutes from the city near Herault and up and down the coastline visitors will find a myriad of white sand beaches great for exploration throughout their stay in Languedoc. Here are some of the best beaches in the area:

Plage du Pous

The sand here is extremely clean and white and the ocean is crystal clear and strikingly blue. This continuous beach is quite wide, allowing for large crowds in the high season. There are many restaurants and bars within the vicinity, making this a great location to spend a day. The beach can only be reached by an unpaved road, however there is parking near the beach.

Plage Ouest, Portiragnes-Plage

This natural beach is great for exploration and has many dunes. The beach is clean and the water is crystal clear. There is very limited food available to purchase on the beach, however there are some restaurants alongside the beach here.

Plage de Saint Vincent

This is a busy beach close to the city, though even with lots of buildings near and within sight of the beach, it maintains is charm. There are several rock formations on the beach here and the sand is white and water a beautiful light blue. There is very limited food available on the beach, though there are restaurants close by.

Plage de Farinette

This is another beach close to the city, though compared to many of the other wide beaches, this one seems rather narrow and small.
