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 Paulilles 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 Paulilles 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.

This beach in the south of France is definitely worth a visit, especially since it's easily accessible. It's located in a natural reserve and during the summer, there are lifeguards on duty. Plus, there are public showers and bathrooms available for use.

The spot is a lovely spot to relax and also discover some interesting local history. It's worth noting that the museum is currently closed and Covid-19 restrictions mean that sunbathing and picnicking aren't allowed, but it's still a great place to take a refreshing swim and enjoy a leisurely stroll through the gardens. Plus, it's easily accessible!
