About La digue

La digue is the shallow reserve trail at Palavas, built around the sea-dyke and the first nearshore habitats off the beach. The route mixes sand, small rock, and artificial habitat pieces, so it feels like a short beginner-friendly shoreline explore rather than a deep dive. It works best as an easy, self-guided snorkel on calm water. Expect crabs, shrimp, octopus, juvenile fish, gobies, and mussels around the buoyed stops.
