Presentation

The town of Mèze, in collaboration with the Syndicat Mixte du Bassin de Thau and the Mèzois consultancy Biotope, has created the first underwater trail in the Etang de Thau.

This new, innovative and accessible underwater educational trail offers a unique immersion in the riches of Thau. It is located on the Taurus beach.
Thanks to 5 underwater panels, snorkelers can discover the extreme diversity of this lagoon ecosystem: Grande Nacre, Speckled Seahorse, Blennie, Mullet? they're all there!
The Mèze underwater trail does more than just showcase the pond?s biodiversity. It is the first to include a section devoted to the pond?s trades. The discovery of an oyster table, witness to the essential shellfish farming activity of the Etang de Thau, will be part of the adventure.
You don't need to be an expert diver to enjoy this installation: the identification panels are attached to buoys just below the surface. You can hang on to the buoy?s handrail to comfortably observe the species present.
On the Taurus beach, two panels present the trail as a whole, and give advice on how to complete it in the best possible conditions.

From buoy to buoy :
Along a 250-meter trail, punctuated by 5 observation stations, you'll learn about the different natural habitats and species characteristic of the Thau lagoon. You'll also have the chance to discover an educational shellfish table!
Each station is marked by a buoy with a handrail and equipped with an underwater educational panel.

Swimming times and permits :
The Mèze underwater trail can be explored without a timetable by anyone under their own responsibility.
Please note: the part of the trail behind the coastal shelter is outside the supervised swimming area (orange zone).
It therefore remains unsupervised, even when the first-aid post is open.
To ensure proper maintenance of the trail, buoys and signs will be removed at the same time as the beach markers.
