Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Baux beach (Pyrenees-Orientales) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. 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 Baux 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 Baux 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 cove is absolutely stunning and can be easily reached. Additionally, the beach has light pebbles which add to its charm.

We had a fantastic time at the beach, enjoying a lovely picnic while being mindful to clean up after ourselves. Although some others didn't seem to share our concern for the environment. The beach has light pebbles, making it a perfect spot for a refreshing swim. However, it's best to bring safety shoes to protect your feet.

The beach is absolutely stunning with crystal-clear water and light pebbles. However, please note that dogs are not allowed and it may not be the most practical option for families with young children due to a steep descent with stairs and lack of supervision.
