Crique de Peyrefite

Crique de Peyrefite is a pebble beach tucked between steep cliffs that drop toward the Mediterranean. The sheltered waters are calm and clear, creating a natural harbor protected from rough seas.

Fishermen have sheltered boats in this cove since medieval times, using its natural protection. Over centuries, the harbor became central to local fishing and maritime trade.

The cove shows how Catalan and French traditions meet in this small seaside community. Local fishing practices and the way people use the water reflect generations of maritime life in this region.

The beach has no shops or facilities, so bring everything you need for the day. Parking is available roughly 200 meters away near the local medical center.

Underwater paths marked with information signs guide swimmers to discover local marine life. The route lets visitors explore the sea floor without needing advanced diving skills.
