Plage Balanti, Mediterranean beach in Port-Vendres, France
The beach features a mix of sand and pebbles along the coastline, with views extending toward neighboring Paulilles and Cap Bear headland.
The coastal path connecting Plage Balanti to Port-Vendres follows ancient maritime routes used by fishermen and traders since medieval times.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices at Plage Balanti, using small boats to catch Mediterranean fish species throughout the year.
