Plage centrale

The central beach stretches along the Mediterranean shore with soft sand and clear water reaching to the horizon. The waterfront extends past port facilities on one side while the Pyrenees mountains rise in the distance.

The beach was central to the transformation during the 1960s that changed the area from a small fishing community to a modern coastal destination. This period of growth shaped the region and established its character as a seaside resort.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience Mediterranean coastal living throughout the year. People use the space for swimming, socializing, and enjoying leisure time in a relaxed seaside setting.

The beach is easy to reach and kept clean by regular maintenance staff throughout the day. Lifeguards are stationed at various points to monitor water conditions and ensure visitor safety.

A seasonal outdoor library called Biblioplage appears on the beach with more than 150 books available for visitors to borrow and read. This unexpected feature allows people to combine reading with their seaside time.
