Beach Bars at Vias Plage
There are a number of popular beach bars at Vias Plage. The main one is called Chiringuito which is popular with our locals and tourists alike.
Chiringuito serves some seriously tasty Mojitos (we promise) and there is a simple but extensive bar menu.
You can also hire sun loungers here and have your drinks brought to you on the beach or sit on the deck and overlook the beach. The main restaurant is located on a covered terrace, looking down on the beach.
The service here is excellent. On baking hot days if you manage to get a table right at the front of the terrace, you’ll really appreciate the sea breeze to keep cool. For a small kitchen, Chiringuito manages to turn out some interesting plates of food. We love the Sea Bass in a Thai dressing but there are plenty of choices. It is advisable to book ahead during the high season.
Canal du Midi
To admire the famous Canal du Midi, you don’t need to travel far, at Vias Plage you have the chance to explore this beautiful Canal.
The Canal runs just metres from La Carabasse and you can discover it in several ways either on foot, by bike or by boat!
The towpaths will guide you along the canal and this is an easy walk as they are accessible for all levels, its trails are flat and straight. This is a lovely walk with children, enjoy a moment of peace and try to spot some local wildlife together. You’ll see ducks or coypu who dig their burrows in the river banks. Rarely, you will be able to see water chickens, grey herons and if you are super lucky, turtles.
For those who love to cycle try the 33 km of trails along the Canal du Midi between Béziers and the Thau lake. Don’t worry as they are easily accessible by bike, safe and suitable for all ages. Classified as greenways, the banks are reserved for hikers and non-motorized vehicles. If you do not have a bike, there are plenty of places you can rent them. Including from the La Carabasse campsite.
Fancy becoming a Captain for a few hours? You can rent a boat without a licence near La Carabasse Campsite this is only about 2km from the campsite, near to Europark. If you’re feeling adventurous you can even rent a barge and try a trip on the calming waters of the canal.
