Overview

Leucate-Plage — Sea spot facing the Mediterranean, south of Cap Leucate. Works by Tramontane (windsurf ideal) and Marin SE (kite + waves). Convivial resort beach with all amenities.

Tramontane NW: ideal for windsurf — offshore pushes you, good speed. Marin SE/S: onshore waves, good for kite and surfing. Stand up paddle possible when no wind — beautiful setting with Cap Leucate cliffs.

Easy parking, restaurants, shops, showers — the "civilized" Leucate spot. Camping Mer Sable Soleil directly behind the beach.
