Bad

Going south to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Salin-de-Giraud or Port St-Louis there are many beaches, all of them with sand. Distance from Arles some 25-30 km. These beaches are more of the "family type". For beach bars, sun chairs, go to La Grande Motte or Le Grau-du-Roi, (south west from Arles) some 40-50 km
