Canet-Plage

Canet-en-Roussillon

The beach closest to Perpignan, about 12 km from the city center, with a long sandy shore, a yacht harbor and an aquarium.

Canet-Plage is Perpignan's 'city beach.' Its wide sands are paired with a seafront boulevard, a marina and restaurants. On its southern side is the Canet–Saint-Nazaire lagoon nature area, which is good for birdwatching. In summer, buses run frequently between Perpignan and the beach, taking about 20–30 minutes. The beach is free, and the seafront promenade is ideal for an evening stroll.
