About Canet-Plage
Canet-Plage is the seafront of Canet-en-Roussillon, a town of about thirteen thousand people in the Pyrénées-Orientales, on a coastal plain dotted with lagoons. Bathers have come here since 1849, when the first beach settlement on this coast was set up. The homes sit close together, mostly small places for two to four with a single bedroom, and some have a pool or air conditioning. The beach runs for more than 9 km of golden sand with a gentle slope, and about twenty beach clubs rent sunbeds and parasols. In the port, boats can be hired from the Quai de Barcelone for trips to see the rocky coast. The old town has a medieval castle and the church of Saint-Jacques with a square sixteenth-century bell tower.
