License-free boating in Le Grau-du-Roi: the local waters

At Le Grau-du-Roi, the licence-free trip everyone agrees on leads to the Espiguette dunes, about two nautical miles away: an end-of-the-world landscape with an immense beach and turquoise water in fine weather, where you anchor on sand well off the shoreline. In the other direction, La Grande-Motte and its pyramids are half an hour away, and Port-Camargue — Europe's largest marina — deserves a slow cruise along its basins.

The local point of care is the grau channel itself: trawlers, tour boats and launches cross it constantly in season — keep well to starboard and hold a steady speed. Offshore, the coast is low and shelterless: with an established wind, postpone the outing. French rules apply: 6 hp maximum without a licence, daytime navigation within the operator's defined zone, typically 100–250 € per day.
