The most beautiful coves to discover around Canet-en-Roussillon
Located in the department of Pyrénées-Orientales, the commune of Canet-en-Roussillon has a long beach that stretches for several kilometers to the Spanish border, passing by the fine sandy beach of Saint-Cyprien.
This magnificent seaside resort in the south of France is at the center of the most beautiful beaches of the Pyrenees-Orientales. You will find hidden beaches, whose secrets we reveal to you, and which will allow you to enjoy an exceptional landscape far from the mass of holidaymakers every summer. Here is everything you need to know about the hidden coves in and around Canet-en-Roussillon.
Where to find the hidden coves of the Catalan Coast?
Canet-en-Roussillon and its surroundings are also full of hidden coves. Because of their geographical location, these places are often deserted, even when holidaymakers invade the Catalan coast.
To enjoy it, head to the Côte Vermeille, from the Racou beach in Argelès-sur-Mer to Port-Bou, which is on the Spanish border.
Fabulous little hidden coves await you.
The creeks from Argelès-sur-Mer to Collioure
To relax in complete privacy, the Argelès-sur-Mer cove is the ideal place. Accessible from the south of the Racou beach, this pretty coastal path shelters several secret creeks suitable for walks or hikes.
Following the marine path for a few kilometers, you will come across the cove of Collioure, a small paradise to be discovered at least once in your life. Between deserted pebble beaches and turquoise waters, you can only appreciate the landscape.
Many secret coves are to be discovered between the communes of Argelès-sur-Mer and Collioure.
Looking for wild coves for a relaxing moment?
For several years now, every summer, the city of Canet-en-Roussillon and its surroundings have seen a massive influx of holidaymakers. However, some beaches, from Barcarès to Cerbère, without forgetting the Spanish border, have remained intact. Due to their difficult access, these places are considered wild coves located away from the seaside resorts.
To get there, you have to walk several kilometers and be equipped to brave the Catalan sun that shines on the coastal paths. But don’t worry, once you arrive you will quickly forget the hardship you just went through.
Cove of Paulilles
and Cap Béar
The Anse de Paulilles and Cap Béar offer wild creeks of exceptional beauty. At Anse de Paulilles, you will discover a beach lined with pine trees and rocks with crystal clear waters ideal for swimming.
At Cap Béar, you will find secluded and unspoiled coves, accessible only by hiking trails, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. These places are perfect for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts.
Coves of Port-Vendres
and Banyuls-sur-Mer
The coves of Port Vendres and Banyuls-sur-Mer are without doubt the most paradisiacal ones recorded in this region.
About thirty kilometers from Canet-en-Roussillon, it is easily accessible by sea. For this, a kayak tour is an excellent option to access the site.
The same goes for the cove of Banyuls-sur-Mer which is also a wonderful place to relax away from the influx of tourists. You can explore the underwater reserve, a must for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. Discover an incredible diversity of marine species, from sponges and corals to colorful fish and mollusks.
Where are the deserted coves?
If you are looking for a quiet place to relax during the summer vacations, the deserted coves are for you!
On the Catalan coast, from Port-Vendres to the marine reserve of Cerbère-Banyuls, and more precisely between Cap Béar and Anse Sainte Catherine, you will find several small coves with caves.
In addition, the coves of Port Vendres are among the most beautiful deserted beaches in the Eastern Pyrenees. The creeks ofBanyuls-sur-Mer are not to be outdone, especially those of Paulilles which give access to the magnificent beach of Fourat. In any case, these places will give you the feeling of being alone in the world, even in June, in the middle of the vacation season. If you want to enjoy the sun and the warm water, come in September.
Where are the naturist coves?
Deserted coves are often synonymous with nature and naturism.
There are several naturist coves near Canet-en-Roussillon, including the Marenda beach, the Balaguère beach and the Sainte-Marie beach. These coves are located on the coast between Canet-en-Roussillon and Argelès-sur-Mer.
However, it should be noted that the practice of naturism is regulated and delimited by zones in a signed way.
Some coves are perfect for connecting with nature, due to their quietness and low traffic in a paradisiacal place. Mainly located between the Cap d’Ullastrell, in Port-Vendres and the Cap des Elmes, in Banyuls-sur-Mer.
