Plage de Saint-Cyprien

This Mediterranean coastal stretch extends for approximately six kilometers along the Pyrénées-Orientales coastline, featuring fine golden sand and calm waters perfect for swimming and various water sports activities.

The beach area developed from a traditional fishing village during the medieval period, with the modern resort infrastructure being established in the 1960s to accommodate the growing tourism industry in southern France.

Local Catalan cuisine flourishes in beachfront restaurants serving fresh seafood specialties like gambas and dorade, while summer festivals feature traditional rumba catalana music and regional gastronomic celebrations.

The beach offers modern amenities including parking facilities, shower areas, lifeguard services during summer season, wheelchair accessibility, and equipment rental for parasols and deck chairs.

The nearby 19th-century lighthouse serves as a landmark offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline, creating particularly spectacular photographic opportunities during sunset hours.
