Bernardi Beach

Highlight • Beach

If you want to go long on this section, you should stay on the beach and walk through the sand. A wall running past the beach behind is difficult to overcome. Otherwise you can also rent surfboards here.

A small but beautiful beach in Forat. Also called "Platja del Forat" in Catalan, this beach in a bay invites you to settle down. The place is very small and consists of only a few houses.

June 6, 2023,🇨🇵 Sentier littoral Banyuls-sur-Mer - Port-Vendres

The bus line between Perpignan and Banyuls is very practical: for €1 per trip you can go to a starting point for the tour or back at the end. In the pre-season the bus runs about once an hour.

July 2, 2022,De Port Vendres via Cap Bèar à Banyuls sur Mer

Along the Sentier de Littoral is a nice route 😊 because there is a lot on offer here (that's why so many, many pictures 📷). The sea with its cliffs with hidden bays for swimming, beaches of small seaside resorts. In the background the mountains with some vineyards.
Old fortifications from the old days or from WW2 can also be …

This route hike along the beautiful Purple Coast has it all. Over a distance of 15 km, there are steep ascents and descents over stony paths at around 500 meters in altitude
The effort is worth it, because the views along the rocky coast, the small bays and the beautiful villages are a dream

December 16, 2024,🚶‍♀️Port-Vendres -> Banyuls sur mer

I was supposed to cycle from Argeles sur Mer to Portbou in Spain, but had a breakdown near Collioure. I parked my bike somewhere safe and decided to walk towards Spain. Not on the planned cycle route, but on the narrow rocky paths along the coast. Not everywhere equally vertigo-friendly, so this route was once and not again. So I …

Great adventure with the kids. Hiked and climbed along the rocky coast for a day. Great performance from both of them. But now everyone is exhausted 😄

May 21, 2022,De Banyuls-sur-Mer à Collioure

Demanding hike to Cap Béar, a little disappointing in its arrival at Port-Vendre and Collioure.
Ideally, reach Collioure by the interior, in the middle of the vineyards.

After parking at our destination, Port-Vendres, we waited for the bus. According to the tourist information, there was a strike today, but the bus to Banyuls-sur-Mer still arrived on time 👌
The coastal path is an absolute dream... with the sun at our backs, we walked north. Along numerous bays and amidst enticingly fragrant vegetation, we passed dilapidated forts and …
