Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer lies in the open landscape of the Camargue, between the Rhône delta, the lagoons and the Mediterranean coast. The village brings together Provençal life, Camargue culture and the sea; its streets are easy to explore on foot, between the houses in the centre and the seafront. It suits visitors who enjoy beaches, wide-open spaces and wildlife watching, with an atmosphere unlike that of more built-up seaside resorts.

Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer Church overlooks the centre and is an important landmark in the village. The Museum of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and the bullring offer a chance to discover local history and traditions. Several beaches line the commune, including Arènes Beach. Pont de Gau Ornithological Park, where you can watch birds and explore the marshland, is 3.9 km away. The centre and Provençal market, 720 m away, are within walking distance. Arles railway station is 35 km away; a car is useful for exploring the natural areas and villages nearby.

In spring and autumn, the wetlands attract many migratory birds, making these good seasons for nature outings. In summer, swimming and days on the coast shape your stay, while walks are best planned for cooler hours. You could spend the morning exploring the village, stop at the market, then head to the marshes or beaches. Pont de Gau Ornithological Park offers another way to discover the Camargue, along its trails and from its observation points.
