Vias Plage in located on the Mediterranean coast in South France. It is a quiet beach, with shallow, warm waters and golden sand - ideal for children and adults alike. Vias Plage is certainly one of the best Languedoc beaches to visit whilst you are in South France on holiday. This popular beach is sheltered and easily accessible even in the height of summer.
The beach at Vias Plage is a beautifully protected area, perfect for families with young children. The local council has also invested heavily in the resort in recent years, smartening up the facades of (the previously tacky) shops and restaurants and there is now a beautiful promenade above the beach which takes you along to a couple of really smart beach bars.
Vias Plage is situated close to the Southern French city of Beizers. Vias Plage beach, South France, has some of the warmest water on the Languedoc coast. You will of course find beaches with better facilities, but as an overall package, Vias Plage tops them all. This popular Languedoc beach is sheltered, with golden sands and easily accessible even in the height of summer.
There is also plenty of bars and cafes behind the beach to keep you in supply with cold drinks and ice creams. Vias Plage beach, South France, is featured in our Top 10 list of Best Languedoc beaches.
Vias Plage is located 2 km from the small town of Vias on the Languedoc coast. Originally, Vias Plage was developed as a beach location for the nearby inhabitants of Beziers.

Vias Plage - Languedoc beach, South France
I reckon that Vias Plage beach, South France, is the only beach in Languedoc that my wife actually knows. I am sure that she does know other Languedoc beaches, but every time we pack the kids in the car with all their surf boards and inflatables and I ask "Right where are we headed?", the response is always "Vias Plage!". She claims she likes it because you can find a quiet spot and the water is shallow. But I reckon it has more to do with her secret car parking space which only involves a 15 second walk to the sand.
Vias Plage is the closest beach to Beziers, France (just 15 kms). The resort of Vias Plage features a number of campsites and there is also the Europark theme park which is open from late June to the end of August each year.
Chriniguito - Vias Plage beach bar
There is a great beach bar at Vias Plage called Chiringuito that is really popular with our French friends. The bar serves some excellent Mojitos and there is a simple but very good bar menu. You can also hire sun loungers or sit on the deck over looking the beach. The main restaurant is located on a covered terrace. It is probably advisable to book ahead during the high season.

There is a train which goes from either Agde or Beziers to the nearby town of Vias (and then catch a shuttle bus to the beach) or you can take a bus from Beziers (Line 210) to Vias.
We always head right into the heart of Vias Plage, where all the beach bars, restaurants and shops are, and then take a right turn past the campsite. If you keep following the track you will come to another car park that invariably has spaces. We prefer this area of Vias plage as the beach is usually quieter.
