Plage des Elmes, Mediterranean beach in Banyuls-sur-Mer, France
The beach extends 100 meters along the coastline, featuring a mix of sand and gravel surfaces bordered by steep rocks on both sides.
The beach location served as a strategic point for maritime trade routes between France and Spain during the 19th century Mediterranean commerce.
Local residents and visitors gather at this beach to practice traditional Catalan water sports and fishing techniques throughout summer months.
The beach provides rental services for sun loungers, access to showers, restrooms, and a snack bar operating from June through September.
The beach connects directly to a designated swimming zone within the Cerbère-Banyuls Marine Reserve, where numerous fish species inhabit the waters.
