Narbonne plage, Mediterranean seaside resort in Narbonne, France.
Narbonne-Plage is a seaside resort in the commune of Narbonne, separated from the city by the limestone Massif de la Clape. It stretches along nearly 5 km of fine sand, up to about 100 m wide, and extends inland no more than 1 km. A road and pedestrian way, the Boulevard du Front de Mer then Avenue du Port, runs beside the beach with a cycle path.
The resort developed in the early 1900s as a destination for visitors seeking relaxation and seaside leisure. Recognition with the Blue Flag in 1988 marked the achievement of high standards for water quality and coastal facilities.
The resort's name comes from the city of Narbonne, which lies about 15 km west behind the Massif de la Clape. In the 1960s Jean Camberoque made a ceramic promoting seaside tourism; it stands in front of the resort's tourist office, saved through a campaign led by Michel Sidobre. Each summer evening except Sundays, the seafront hosts dance, karaoke, concerts and cabaret, and craft and food markets run through the season.
The beach is supervised during the day in summer and access is free; outdoor showers are provided. The resort is reached from Narbonne by a single road, the D168, across the Massif de la Clape. The marina at the northeastern end has 600 berths.
The marina at the northeastern end of the resort, built between 1981 and 1986, has 600 berths and has held the "Clean Ports" label since 2001. Its boundary with Saint-Pierre-la-Mer is marked by the harbour.
