The timeless summer essential: swimming
The campsite is ideally located on the Mediterranean coast. Sainte-Marie-la-Mer’s three kilometers of beach provide the perfect spot to indulge in summer’s most popular activity: swimming. The fine sand of the beach, the gentle waves of the sea and the gentle warmth of the southern summer will make your time with us the perfect vacation. What’s more, there’s no need to get out the car or pedal: the campsite offers direct access to the beach, so you can get there faster and enjoy it for even longer. And for those who prefer fresh water, the campsite has a supervised swimming pool and paddling pool.
For nomads: hiking
Summer doesn’t always mean idleness! If your legs need stretching, there are plenty of hiking trails to combine activity with a visit to the Pyrénées-Orientales. With 50 trails and 3,500 kilometers of signposted walks for all levels, you can visit protected natural landscapes, reserves, nature parks, coastal paths and more. In the heart of nature, find the trail that suits you, whether it’s quiet or more dynamic. Put on your shoes and get ready for an incomparable natural immersion.
For outings: cycling
Because hiking isn’t the only way to see the region and stretch your legs, the Pyrénées-Orientales department is the ideal place for cycling and mountain biking. Greenways allow you to pedal undisturbed by traffic. Whether you’re a couple, a family or a group of friends, the greenways will enable you to enjoy the rich flora and fauna of the Catalan countryside.
On-site activities
If these three activities don’t tempt you, Camping de la Plage also offers a wide range of activities in a friendly atmosphere, for young and old alike! Sports enthusiasts and ball-players will find a volleyball court, a tennis court and ping-pong tables. Aquagym sessions are offered on a regular basis for gentle exercise and keeping fit. For more leisurely pursuits, there’s a mini-golf course on site, as well as a boules pitch. For the little ones, there’s a mini club (during the summer season) and a games room to keep them busy. Finally, for your well-being, you’ll find a zen area, featuring a jacuzzi, hammam and sauna. Some of these activities may be subject to a supplement.
Whether you come to Camping de la Plage for relaxation or to make the most of the summer by getting active, there are plenty of activities available on the campsite and in the surrounding area. The hardest part is choosing what to do, and spending a great vacation with us.
