Carnon Marina

Port de Carnon sits right in the heart of the Mauguio-Carnon beach resort, about 9 miles south of Montpellier in the Bay of Aigues-Mortes — so you're never far from a cold drink or a sandy beach once you've tied up. It's a well-organized marina with a tight-knit coastal town feel, and the direct access to the Languedoc coastline and the lagoons of the Hérault gives it a character you don't find in bigger, more industrial ports. Montpellier is a short drive north if you want city buzz, but honestly, the resort village itself has enough cafés and seafood spots to keep you happy.
