Sea side…
The large family beaches of Argelès-sur-Mer and the coves all along the Côte Vermeille obviously offer a multitude of spots to enjoy the sun and the Big Blue. Stroll along the water's edge, or transform it into a playground for the little ones and a well-deserved idleness break for the parents.
To get moving, sea kayaking or snorkeling, on the marked underwater trail for example, are great activities to do as a family. And why not put your head under water and explore the superb seabed during a first dive? (From the age of 8)
To contemplate the beauty of the coast from the sea, our partners offer outings aboard a catamaran, on classic boats or in an “underwater vision” version.
Stroll between Argelès-sur-Mer, Collioure and Port-Vendres with a view of the last foothills of the Pyrenees chain or treat yourself to an outing to discover the bottlenose dolphin... What a great opportunity to create unforgettable memories to take home. the House !
