User reviews
"The beach is located on the quieter western side of Collioure. It has a rocky and narrow stretch, but despite the close proximity of sunbathers, the atmosphere remains undisturbed by the bustling promenade. Nearby bistros and restaurants provide dining options, while a children's playground and carousel add to the appeal for families with kids."
Zephyr Marlowe
"The beach at the base of the Cotlliure promenade is small and unassuming. Its main draw is the stunning views it offers, situated to the south-west of the town with the Chateau Royal, picturesque Church, and iconic lighthouse directly in front. The area is bustling with activity thanks to the many restaurants and cafes nearby, attracting families and tourists all day long."
