Platja de Tallalauca, Mediterranean beach in Banyuls-sur-Mer, France.
Platja de Tallalauca is a sandy beach stretching about 125 m along the Mediterranean coast of Banyuls-sur-Mer. Rocky cliffs and terraced vineyards frame the shore, creating a narrow strip of sand backed by steep hillsides.
This beach is part of the maritime heritage of Banyuls-sur-Mer, which transformed from a fishing village into a coastal settlement over centuries. The terraced vineyards visible today were built gradually as locals developed the hillsides for wine production.
The local wine production is woven into the identity of this place, with vineyards rising directly above the sand. Visitors walking along the shore can see how the surrounding hillsides are shaped entirely by generations of viticulture.
You can reach the beach via Route de Cerbère, with parking nearby and services within walking distance. The water is generally calm and easy to enter, making it straightforward to enjoy the shore.
The clear water lets you see small fish darting between underwater rocks that create natural shelters for marine life. This makes the water inviting for anyone curious about what lives just beneath the surface.
