Port d'Avall, Sandy beach in Collioure, France
Port d'Avall stretches along the southeastern edge of Collioure, featuring a gentle slope that extends into shallow Mediterranean waters near the Royal Castle.
The beach developed as a natural harbor during medieval times, when Collioure served as a strategic maritime point between France and Spain.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at Port d'Avall, launching their boats from the beach each morning to catch anchovies and sardines.
The beach offers essential facilities including showers, a lifeguard station during summer, and rental services for beach equipment near the castle entrance.
This location represents the only sand beach in Collioure, providing clear views of both the Royal Castle and Saint Vincent church bell tower.
