Outdoor Activities
Beaches
Sunset Beach, located in La Grande Motte, is a beautiful and expansive shoreline known for its fine, soft sand and considerable length. It's a popular destination for families and older individuals seeking a peaceful and serene environment. The beach offers ample space for swimming and volleyball, with nearby dining options available. Visitors can also enjoy the convenience of various amenities close by. Despite being developed in the 1970s, Sunset Beach maintains its natural beauty with minimal commercial establishments directly on the beachfront.
It is a perfect place if you want to go to the beach. Plenty of place, clean water, numerous activities(beach football, beach volleyball, kite, jets ki, surf etc.). The bars are great, supermarkets are really close by foot so and you can use hérault trasnport to get back to the city. Bus 606.

It is ok. It would be nice of the parasols could be turned to get shade no matter where the sun is. As it is now, you have to move your chair to stay in the shade. It is a bit overpriced and the service is just ok. The tropical smoothie was delicious.

(Translated by Google) Organization to review. - 45 min wait for paninis. - To make up for it, we will offer you pieces of watermelon which will also be served 20 minutes later. - The half-day rate applies from 2 p.m., if you arrive between 1:40 p.m. - 2 p.m. you are charged a full day for the deckchair spaces, which is amazing, especially when the service was so laborious. In short, it was the first and last time we set foot there. (Original) Organisation à revoir. - 45 min d'attente pour des paninis. - Pour se faire pardonner on vous proposera des morceaux de pastèques qui seront servie aussi 20min après. - Le tarif demi journée s'applique à partir de 14h, si vous arrivez entre 13h40 - 14h les emplacements transats vous sont facturés pleine journée, hallucinant quand même surtout quand le service à été aussi laborieux. Bref c'était la première et dernière fois qu'on n'y mettait les pieds.

Our 3 year old had a great time! We payed for two hours but honestly one hour was more than enough (for our 3 year old). Awesome park for kids to have fun and get tired 😴😁

Good way for the kids to burn off some energy but needs some updating.
Gavin S — Google review
Sadly, the pics are old and deceiving... the park is smaller than expected, especially when you describe it as an "amusement" park. And the main reason for a low review is, there is no toilet! You sell tickets from 1 hour to all day and you do not provide a portable toilet, at the very least?! C'mon... its now, July 2025, 11 euros per hour.. very reasonable of course, sadly, too small, which means older kids get bored quickly and no toilets, which means parents have to figure it out ...

(Translated by Google) Deciding to fast, whether to lose weight, soothe your mind, or give your body a detox break, is a choice that is not made lightly. With Jeûne Santé, naturopaths, fasting specialists, took care of me and my wife for a week in a friendly setting. A whole week of listening to yourself and your body and its desires for stunning results. Weight loss of course but also gentle dietary rebalancing (no more sugar cravings). To be done again in October before winter enters. (Original) Décider de jeuner, que ce soit pour perdre du poids, apaiser son esprit, offrir à son corps une pause détox est un choix qui ne se fait pas à la légère. Avec Jeûne Santé, ce sont des naturopathes, des spécialistes du jeûne qui nous ont pris en charge durant une semaine dans un cadre sympathique avec mon épouse. Une semaine entière à s'écouter et écouter son corps et ses envies pour un résultat bluffant. Perte de poids bien entendu mais aussi rééquilibrage alimentaire (fini les envies de sucre) en douceur. À refaire en octobre avant l'entrée dans l'hiver.

(Translated by Google) I never thought I was capable of fasting, even for a day. With this team at my side to guide me with patience and professionalism, what's more, in a relaxing place with all the benefits of the sea, and the excitement of a group, it was a fabulous experience. Which I renew with as much pleasure as ever. I learned so much thanks to Fasting Health in Thalasso. Unforgettable experience with every stay. (Original) Je ne me serai jamais crus capable de faire un jeûne, même une journée. Avec cette équipe à mes cotés pour me guider avec patience et professionnalisme, qui plus est, dans un lieu relaxant avec tous les bienfaits de la mer, et l'émulsion d'un groupe, ce fut une expérience fabuleuse. Que je renouvelle avec toujours autant de plaisir. J'ai appris tant de chose grâce à Jeûne Santé en Thalasso. Expérience inoubliable à chaque séjour.

(Translated by Google) I arrived at the center very exhausted and completely burned out. I had the idea of ​​doing a monodiet for 2 weeks. But upon arriving, supported by the group and motivated by Aurélie's kindness, I decided to do a juice fast, which I maintained for 2 weeks without any problem. I come out full of energy, with new attentions and great self-confidence. And above all a new approach to my diet thanks to the supervision and activities. A big thank you to Aurélie for everything she brings, for all the energy and involvement she puts into this stay. I highly recommend. (Original) Je suis arrivée au centre très épuisée en plein burn out. J'avais dans l'idée de faire une monodiète sur 2 semaines.

J'en ressors pleine d'énergie, avec de nouvelles attentions et une grande confiance en moi. Et surtout une nouvelle approche concernant mon alimentation grâce à l'encadrement et aux animations. Un grand merci à Aurélie pour tout ce qu'elle apporte, pour toute l'énergie et l'implication qu'elle met dans ce séjour. Je recommande vivement.

(Translated by Google) Great first fasting experience for me. The thalassotherapy during the day and the energetic awakening in the morning were very welcome. And even more, the breathing and meditation sessions with a naturopath who had been steeped in South American shamanism. Lots of discoveries in a short time and in great shape a few days after this water fast (good shape which lasted for months). Beautiful physical cleansing and mental calming! But be careful, you have to have a little courage to endure the fatigue and the sensations while the body works to regenerate itself. Thank you Marc and the surrounding team. Oh also: very good herbal teas and quality water! Don't forget the hot water bottle... (Original) Belle expérience de premier jeûne pour moi. La thalassothérapie en journée et l'éveil énergétique du matin étaient très bienvenus. Et plus encore les séances de respiration et méditation avec une naturopathe qui avait été imprégnée du chamanisme sud américain. Beaucoup de découvertes en peu de temps et une pleine forme quelques jours après ce jeûne hydrique (bonne forme qui a duré des mois). Beau nettoyage physique et apaisement mental ! Mais attention, il faut avoir un peu de courage pour supporter la fatigue et les sensations pendant que le corps travaille à se régénérer. Merci Marc et l'équipe autour. Ah aussi : très bonnes tisanes et eau de qualité ! N'oubliez pas la bouillotte...

From start to finish, the service was top-notch. A special shout-out to Kylian, Stef, Cata & Farah — thank you for making our evening so memorable with your kindness, smiles and great energy. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a place with heart, taste, and good vibes!

This is an amazing outdoor restaurant 🫢. Their mussels (moule) are top-notch—the sauce is delicious and lightly portioned, so it’s not too salty. But the fries? Super salty 🤧 (luckily, the staff replaced them, so no big deal). The staff here are super friendly—every time my plate was full of shells, they came to clear them away. The space is breezy and open, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely a spot worth trying!

La Paillotte Bambou is a trendy beachside gem that perfectly captures the essence of seaside dining. With its airy atmosphere, this eatery offers a delightful selection of tapas, fresh seafood, and an impressive array of wines and cocktails. Guests can unwind on the terrace equipped with loungers while soaking in the stunning ocean views. The vibe here is all about simplicity and friendliness—ideal for those looking to enjoy a laid-back day at the beach without any fuss.
I recently visited “paillote bamboo restaurant” with my mother, and it was such a great experience. We started with the shrimp, which were cooked just right and came with this amazing aioli sauce. We also tried the oysters—they were huge and so fresh, some of the best I’ve had in a while. The octopus plate was another highlight, super tender and full of flavor. We paired everything with a nice bottle of white wine that really brought the meal together. For dessert, we had the raspberry tiramisu, which was a perfect finish—light, creamy, and just the right amount of tartness from the raspberries. But what really made the evening special was our server, “Lucie”. She was genuinely friendly and made sure we were well taken care of, always serving us with a smile. Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and we left feeling really satisfied. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Whether you’re there for a meal or just soaking in the sun, it’s the perfect beach retreat. Highly recommended!

I do recommend the place. They have their own parking few hundred meters away that costs 4 euros only that you can pay with cash or by credit card. A stylish place divided in 3 parts : restaurant, bar and private beach. The atmosphere is very nice and the staff is professional. The menu offers a lot to choose from. It would be nice to have an English version for foreigners though. Overall recommendable experience ;-)

A bit harder to find than it was in the previous place few years ago but the concept is still the same and we don’t regret we came back. The food was amazing and I recommend the beef filet with the “rhum morilles” sauce…an absolute madness in your mouth! Not only the food was delicious but the staff was very competent and friendly. We had our lunch during the rush hour and it’s been very pleasant not to feel any stress or anger from the waiters. Everyone was running with the smile and made our lunch even more enjoyable. I had the opportunity to talk with the manager to share our feedbacks and this gentleman was the image of his great team. Sir, your vision of the hospitality sector is the right one and I hope finding more often great professionals like you when we’re coming back on holidays in this beautiful area. Well done guys! We will come back for sure!

Cool spot for a chilled lunch. Relaxed atmosphere, lovely decor. Excellent food - grilled octopus and shrimps, guacamole, deserts to die for. The service was very attentive to start with, but slowed down at the end as the restaurant emptied - we had to catch a waiter to get rid of our empty plates and then again for desert. But fantastic experience nonetheless, would definitely recommend and come again.

We needed to wait in line to enter (we tried calling to make a reservation, the call was unable go through each time) ... That's okay. We didn't have to wait much maybe around 10-15 min, but somehow the entry area seemed to be infested by mosquitos that were bitting all the guests that were waiting for a table, so not very cool. Inside everything was okay. Just know that if you sit on the terrace you are not able to order from the restaurant menu... Only from the "tapas". So a bit of a bummer. The staff was super nice though 😊 and the place super pretty! Although the mosquitos were definitely a deal breaker

(Translated by Google) The food is delicious!! I had a sandwich made with pizza dough, tomatoes, mozzarella, salad and mortadella….. delicious!! And very plentiful and inexpensive. The fries are also delicious. The friends who accompanied me also loved the lunch. (Original) La nourriture est délicieuse!! J’ai pris une sandwish à base de pâte à pizza, tomates, mozzarella, salade et mortadelle….. un délice!! Et très copieux et pas cher. Les frites sont elles aussi délicieuses. Les copines qui m’ont accompagnées ont aussi adorés le déjeuner.

(Translated by Google) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exceptional pizza! I've rarely tasted such a delicious pizza. The crust was perfectly cooked: thin, crispy on the edges, and soft inside. The ingredients were fresh, generous, and well-balanced—special mention to the flavorful tomato sauce and the meltingly melted mozzarella. You can feel the expertise and passion in every bite. A true delight from start to finish! I highly recommend it. Bravo to the chef! (Original) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Une pizza exceptionnelle ! J’ai rarement goûté une pizza aussi savoureuse. La pâte était parfaitement cuite : fine, croustillante sur les bords et moelleuse à l’intérieur. Les ingrédients étaient frais, généreux et bien équilibrés – mention spéciale à la sauce tomate pleine de goût, et à la mozzarella fondante à souhait. On sent le savoir-faire et la passion dans chaque bouchée. Un vrai régal du début à la fin ! Je recommande les yeux fermés. Bravo au chef !

(Translated by Google) We didn't expect much when we came to have a simple Margherita. Nice setting, in August, for sure, a nice tourist trap! Well believe it or not, but this simple Margherita turned out to be one of the best I've eaten! Honestly, for 10€ for the large one, the price is not crazy at all and above all magnificent in the mouth!! For the pizzas in any case, I recommend 10000%!!! (Original) On ne s'attendait à pas grand chose en venant prendre une simple Margherita. Cadre sympa, au mois d'août, c'est sûr, un bel attrape touristes ! Et bien croyez moi ou pas, mais cette simple Margherita s'est révélée être une des meilleures que j'ai mangé ! Honnêtement, pour 10€ la grande, le prix n'est pas déconnant du tout et surtout magnifique en bouche !! Pour les pizzas en tout cas, je recommande à 10000% !!!

Day 2

Center of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the center side of town. Start the day off with Plage du Grand Travers, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to La Plage Des Alizés. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Outdoor Activities
Beaches
Plage du Grand Travers is a large and wide wild beach nestled among dunes and pine forests. In the summer, it's bustling with activity and casual beach cafes, while in the winter, it's a favorite spot for dog-walkers. The beach offers free parking nearby and is easily accessible by public transport. One section of the beach is dog-friendly, attracting many four-legged visitors.
Lovely sand beach for miles. One part of the beach is dog friendly where you will see lots of dogs. There is also a beach club near Pampa Plage. its a bit expenaive but worth the price, specially of you spend a full day. Accessibility It has parking near by and also has a 3 bus stops for bus line 4 so easily accessible via public transport as well. Bus line 4 from Etang de L'Or tram stop (last stop of tram line 3) to Grande travers will only cost 1 euro. Bus 606 from Place de France, Montpellier will cost 2 euros and these are better busses.

Plage du Grand Travers offers a wide stretch of fine sand and clear, shallow waters, perfect for a quick dip on a hot day. While parking along the roadside is often manageable, the beach itself tends to get quite crowded, especially in peak season. Finding a quiet spot can be challenging unless you arrive early or walk further from the main access points. The sea is refreshingly cool, which is great during the summer heat. It's a beautiful beach but better suited for those who don’t mind a lively atmosphere and a bit of a walk to claim a spot.

A beautiful sandy beach, great place to walk and to swim, its directly reachable from Montpellier by the tram 3, than you can take the bus and in 10 min you'll be there. You cà walk as well it takes about 20 min to arrive to the beach

I have visited this beach at the sunset, the sunrise and during the day. Amazing. Just look at the practices! Also, walk around the place to see some cool places next to it. If it’s windy there’re almost no parole. You can easily park there in that case

A very nice and chill private beach. The service is excellent, and the food is decent. Since the parking is about 10 minutes away, not too many people come to the public part of the beach in front of the private sunbeds, which makes it feel peaceful and not overcrowded.

Although I didn't dine at Restaurant L'horizon, I did visit for their delightful selection of ice cream, milkshakes, and beer. The quality and speed of service were as anticipated, earning them a well-deserved four-star rating in terms of price, service, and overall experience. Additionally, their tea and coffee options were excellent, complemented by a picturesque view. The staff was efficient in serving tea along with some delectable cookies.
Very good food with a great ratio quality and price. Buffet à volonté with oysters that is opened in front of you and very nice staff. I really enjoyed it.

I was In Holiday with my friends in montpellier for just 2 days ,so we thoughts to go to this Club.... we didn't enter. We weren't drunk, everyone with a really good look. I think because we needed girls for that night. So oki. The problems? After they asked us 50 euro each for enter when normally is a free entry. That money (I don't know if was a manager o no) we had to give them to the security. ILLEGAL... very bad look for the club. Security vote 0... we asked gentle why for understand, but just for look big and strong they were answering :"no, go away". Anyway ILLEGAL what they did (I saw people pay and after enter have the tickets with 0 euro, so free entry, not tax?)

Great atmosphere, beautiful view sadly the woman behind the register was disgustingly rude, she kept swearing and saying "stop stop" or so, basically denied service, which is not so much the problem as the way she went about it, which was the worst!
