    Gravel riding

    La plage du Pilou is one of the two main beach areas in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, along with the plage du Prévost. Between the sea, lagoons, and natural spaces, the coastline here remains sparsely urbanized. The lifeguard station marks the supervised swimming area.

    The place also holds the memory of a much darker episode: in 1942, the Maguelone shore was mined by German forces to prevent a potential Allied landing. During the demining operations undertaken after the war, deminer Pierre Coutou was mortally wounded here on March 1, 1945. A stele pays tribute to him near the beach.
