lomi Says: Canet Plage is walking on its sandy beaches, it is Mediterranean seas and a marina and watersports. Canet Plage is a massive nature reserve with winding walks along the creeks and peaceful pine forests.Canet Plage is criss-crossed with cycle tracks and I'm looking forward to...
Visit the Canet en Roussillon Nature Reserve
Beausoleil Says: There is a long stretch of perfect sand beach with lovely waves and mountain views. If you park your car (or bicycle) along the beach and turn away from the sea, you will find the Canet en Roussillon Nature Reserve waiting to be explored. These straw houses are still used by...
Hotel Mar i cel: Shabby but open out of season
lomi Says: We drove all along the Spanish coast, across the border and into France in January, with the idea of staying the night 'somewhere on the coast' before our trip to the ski slopes. Most hotels and resorts were all closed up for winter. But when we arrived in Canet and saw...
Camping Mar Estang: Good value camping and static caravans
angelordevil Says: Although you can book direct with Camping Mar Estang, we found them through http://www.vacansoleil.co.uk/, who we have previously used for holidays in Holland.Vacansoleil have their own caravans on the site for rent at much more reasonable prices than many of their...
angelordevil Says: Located opposite the Post Office at Canet-Plage, this restaurant was full on a quiet evening, when all other establishments were looking rather dead.A rather cosy, homely little place, the staff were welcoming and child-friendly. We were running low on cash, so it was also...

angelordevil Says: The French are very fond of their dogs, which often accompany them to restaurants.Some people may find this disconcerting or unhygienic. Be warned!
Beausoleil Says: If you visit this beach, you will never return to the Riviera. This is uncrowded most of the year and only moderately crowded in July and August. The beach is great; the sand is great and the surf is great . . . Did I mention the view is great?It is very hard to leave this...
lomi Says: The main plaza near the tourist information office is the plaza Méditerranée. There are three coffee bars there. Normally a coffee would cost about 90c-1.20 euros, but the coffee bars here charged a whopping 3 euros for a coffee!

Q: Going to Canet Plage for the last 2 weeks in April, using it as a base for having a look around, we want to see the sights...

Despite the French tourist office boasting that it is sunny 365 days of the year in Canet, it was surprisingly cold when we arrived in January. As soon as we got out of the car we pulled on fleeces......
