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 Banyuls sur Mer 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 Banyuls sur Mer 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.

The beach could use some cleaning up, but if you venture a bit further down, you'll find a cleaner and less crowded area.

The beach is certainly beautiful and enjoyable, but it's lacking a certain charm. There's a temporary play area for kids during the summer. While the beach is clean, it's not exactly a hidden gem, so if you're seeking a secluded spot away from the crowds, I'd recommend checking out other nearby coves and beaches.

The beach is made up of rocks and stones, but the water is crystal clear. Despite its small size, there is always some space as there is hardly any waves. During peak season, there is a good number of tourists. Additionally, there is a pathway on the left side that leads to the rocks and goes under a bridge.

The landscapes are stunning, even during the winter season. It's definitely worth a visit!
