User reviews
"The beach offers convenient on-site parking and amenities. The gray pebble beach is beautiful and there's an underwater trail in the superb reserve that makes for a great activity. Overall, we had a fantastic day."
Dominic Segmonte
"This beach is a fantastic spot for snorkeling, although it doesn't have sand and instead has gray pebbles. The fish are stunning and there's a small restaurant on site. It feels like the end of the world, making it a very memorable experience. Overall, I highly recommend it."

The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Peyrefite beach (Pyrenees-Orientales) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Peyrefite beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
