St-Cyprien

A seaside resort on the Catalan coast, Saint-Cyprien is known for its marina, one of the largest in Europe, where boat trips let visitors explore the harbour in a different way, whether aboard small Oxoon boats or on jet-ski outings with Saint Cyp Jet. The long sandy beach stretches for several kilometres and is well suited to horse riding along the shore. Culture lovers can visit Les Collections de Saint-Cyprien, an art museum featuring works by Dalí and Desnoyer, while families will find plenty to do at Tropical Golf or Aqualand water park, located right in town. Nearby, Fort Saint-Elme overlooks the bay towards Collioure, a must-visit village just a short drive away, famous for its colourful streets and royal castle. The surrounding area also invites exploration of Argelès-sur-Mer, Perpignan, or the Sigean African wildlife reserve. In nearby Canet-en-Roussillon, a good ice-cream parlour can be found right next to the Oniria aquarium, a pleasant stop after a visit. Local markets round out this varied mix of seaside, heritage and leisure.
