About Port of Le Grau-du-Roi

Le Grau-du-Roi is a Mediterranean port in southern France. It serves as a fishing and leisure harbor, with Port-Camargue being a significant marina. The port is situated on the coast of the Gard department, bordering the étangs.

Background
Le Grau-du-Roi is a commune in the Gard department in southern France. It is the only commune in Gard to have a frontage on the Mediterranean. To the west is the Herault department and La Grande-Motte village, and to the east is the Bouches-du-Rhone department. Using the sea as a vantage point, the commune has four distinct sections: the right beach, the Village, the left beach, Port-Camargue and L'Espiguette. Immediately landwards are the large shallow étangs, saline marshes, which separate it from Aigues Mortes, a neighboring mediaeval walled city that used to be a port. The étangs are home to numerous flamingoes.
