Côte Vermeille, Mediterranean coastline in Pyrénées-Orientales, France
The Côte Vermeille extends for 20 kilometers along the Mediterranean Sea, featuring rocky cliffs, small bays, and pebbled beaches from Argelès-sur-Mer to Cerbère.
The coastal region developed around ancient fishing ports, with Collioure and Port-Vendres serving as maritime trade centers since Roman times.
The region holds five distinct coastal municipalities where local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods while cultivating terraced vineyards for Banyuls wine production.
Route départementale 914 connects all towns along the coast, providing access to beaches, hiking trails, and numerous water activities throughout the year.
The coastal area contains multiple small coves carved into the rock formations where the Pyrenees mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.
