Boramar, Mediterranean beach in Collioure, France
Description
Boramar is a sandy and pebbly beach along Collioure's coast with views of fishing boats and the Notre Dame des Anges church. The natural mix of fine sand and smooth pebbles creates distinct zones suited for different activities.
History
The beach served as a key trading and defense point for centuries, protected by the adjacent Royal Castle of Collioure. This strategic location helped shape the region's development over time.
Culture
The beach drew painters in the early 1900s who were captivated by how light played on the water and cliffs. Their works helped make this corner of the coast famous among artists across Europe.
Practical
The beach has marked swimming areas and clear water depth markers to help families find safe zones. Restaurants and cafes are within easy walking distance for refreshments during your visit.
Did you know?
The beach naturally splits into two parts: a sandy section attracts sunbathers while the pebbled area offers quieter spots. This unusual division means different visitors can have completely different beach experiences in the same place.
