Port Cassafières

Port Cassafières sits on the Canal du Midi near Béziers, making it a solid base for cruising toward the Camargue or exploring the waterways at your own pace with a self-drive boat hire. The nearby sandy beach at Portiragnes means you can swap the deck for the shore easily, and there's adventure golf and fairground action within an hour's cruise east if you've got kids in tow. It's a laid-back spot that punches above its weight for how much you can reach from here.
