Beach overall scores
La Baraquette beach (Pyrenees-Orientales) is located outside the Torreilles-Plage settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the La Baraquette beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is perfect for jogging with a 5km loop or running for about 30 minutes all the way to the sea. It's also a stunning, slightly untouched beach, making it a great spot for swimming. And to top it off, it's an ideal place to wrap up your morning with some early morning yoga!"
Emily Tremaine
"There is plenty of room for everyone. I visited the beach in August and the weather was sunny, plus it wasn't too crowded. The sand isn't flawless and there is a row of stones along the shoreline. The waves were quite sizable, and after a few meters, the sea becomes too deep for children."
