Plage du Sardinal is a picturesque beach situated in the northern part of the resort town of Canet-en-Roussillon, within the PyrĂ©nĂ©es-Orientales department in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. It is nestled between the marina and the mouth of the TĂȘt River, adjacent to the southern part of Sainte-Marie beach. The beach is notable for its wild, dune-lined surroundings, a refreshing contrast from city-center beaches bordered by buildings, giving it the reputation of being the most beautiful beach in Canet.
The beach is popular and frequented by many visitors, particularly during the summer season, owing to its close proximity to numerous campsites. Despite its popularity, the beach maintains a tranquil ambiance and is not typically crowded. It is also pet-friendly, inviting visitors to enjoy a day at the beach with their furry companions.
The sea at Plage du Sardinal is appreciated for its clear waters and agreeable temperature. A unique feature of the sea here is that it is waist-deep near the shore, but becomes shallow a few meters in, making it a safe environment for beachgoers. However, visitors are advised to exercise caution due to occasional reports of glass in the sand.
The beach is equipped with a variety of amenities for the comfort and enjoyment of its visitors, including a café. It is also supervised by lifeguards during the peak summer season, ensuring the safety of beachgoers.
Plage du Sardinal is easily accessible by road. Visitors can take the D81 road towards Sainte-Marie, followed by the Port Zone Technique and camping exit. For those driving to the beach, two parking lots are conveniently located near the marina, and parking is free of charge.
