LEUCATE , Aude – Point of interest
About
Startling varied landscapes and unspoiled paradise for lovers of wind.
Leucate, nestling between vines and oyster beds on the shore of a lagoon, has the feel of a typical Mediterranean village.
The seaside holiday-spot of Leucate Plage is sheltered by the soaring cliffs which overlook the resort. If you’re mad about waterskiing, head to nearby La Franqui, or if sailing is your thing, go to Port Leucate, between the sea and lagoon, which offers a marina and sailing school and naturist centres.
Vast sandy beaches, windsurfing, sand surfing, funboarding, bike hire are also on offer, as well as hiking trails to the Cap Leucate nature reserve, and organised visits to the oyster beds.
