Le Cap d'Agde
We went in May and it was gloriously hot.Staying in a friends apartment at the southern end of the 'Richelieu' harbour.Overlooking the Aqua park,harbour and of course the sea.And just a short enjoyable stroll from all the bars and restaurants.
The beach at this end had lovely pale yellow sand,and it was hopping hot to the shoreline.The water was nice and shallow,so family friendly.You get a 'Count of Monte Cristo' view of the 'Fort de Brescou',just off from the beach.Right on the beach close to the dunes was a little cafe on stilts with sunlougers.We quenched ourselves with 'panache'(shandy) and 'kir'(white wine with cassis).Oh!So very French of us.There's shower points at the gaps through the dunes from the beach.
While at the Northern end it's volcanic black and rocky.Great for Diving and snorkeling.With a Snorkel safari trail guiding you to display all the various little creatures and life around there.Perfect for a safe exploration of the shallow water life.
All the water sports are on offer.Especially Windsurfing.Since this little Cap does get its fair amount of wind.Though not sandblast strength,so it is still good for sunbathing.
Le Cap d'agde is very cycle and walking friendly.As it has cycle and footpaths leading off everywhere,giving you an abundance of choice of many scenic journeys.It is indeed a pleasure just to lazily stroll/cycle around the place.All of this is interlaced with green parks off from the beach.
Despite being much aligned in many books that I have read.We had a relaxing and very enjoyable time here.
Fun in the Cap d'Agde sun
