The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free parking overlooking the Vermilion Coast near Cerbère with two levels: lower asphalt area (~6 spaces) and upper grassy zone (~6 spaces). Spectacular views of sea, cliffs and lighthouse. Bins available. Walking access to El Canu beach (15 min) and coastal trails. Main challenge: strong wind, particularly at night. Daytime traffic present but quiet after sunset.
Highlights
- Stunning views over the coastline and the lighthouse
- Free access with a spacious two-level parking lot
- Hiking trails and nearby beach
- Peaceful nights once the sun goes down
Good to know
- Excessive and regular wind, very uncomfortable at night
- Heavy daytime traffic (tourists, motorcycles)
- Limited parking in peak season
- Partially sloped, no additional services
Motorhome access : Two zones: easily accessible lower tarmac parking; upper grassy area via unpaved path. Partially sloped terrain. Tricky maneuvering in peak season (limited spots). Unauthorized access blocked by barrier.
