Plage Nord

Plage Nord is a beautiful beach located at Saint-Cyprien-Plage. It extends from the end of the built-up area at the northern end of the resort right up to the canal that allows water in and out of the Etang de Canet-Saint-Nazaire, making it approximately 2 km long. Despite its proximity to the town, Plage Nord is a wild beach, offering a simple and unspoiled beach experience. There are no bars, pedaloes, or other amenities, and visitors are warned that there are no lifeguards, making bathing potentially dangerous. The beach is easily accessible from the main road, with marked parking bays available on the sea side. Between the road and the beach is an area of protected dunes. While these dunes are not high, they do limit free access across this protected area. However, there are paths leading to the beach, which can be recognized by the fencing alongside them. The prime parking spots are located near these paths. The beach itself is of high quality, with fairly pale and fine sand. There are no sharp stones at the water's edge, and the beach is not too deep, making it easy for visitors to set up their sunshade and suncream. A windbreak may be necessary when the Tramontane wind is blowing. The beach is a textile beach, meaning visitors are not expected to be nude. One of the highlights of Plage Nord is the stunning view it offers of the foothills of the Pyrenees, which serve as a glorious backdrop to this lovely wild beach.
