There’s nice running in Argelès-sur-Mer, a bustling coastal town located 25 km south of Perpignan and known for its beautiful beaches. The best place to run in Argelès-sur-Mer is along the 3.5 km waterfront promenade (Promenade du Front de Mer).
Beach in Argelès-sur-Mer
The wide, palm-lined promenade runs along the beach (Plage des Pins/Plage Central) and features great beach & water views. The south end starts in the port area where the Massane River empties into the sea. Run north for up to 3.5 km to the Marenade parking lot/camping area. At the Plage des Pins, there’s a scenic park, Parc des Pins, which has some nice, shaded paths along the pine trees. At the south end (port area), you can add a 1 km out & back along the jetty to the lighthouse.

Scenic waterfront run in Port-Vendres, a typical Mediterranean fishing port on the Côte Vermeille near the spanish border. The 6.5 km route follows the scenic marina, and then a waterfront road out to a unique metallic lighthouse. Can combine with our Collioure route.
A nice run in the coastal town of Collioure, combining the waterfront path around the Château royal de Collioure, lighthouse, and waterfront road toward Port-Vendres. For an add-on challenge, run the the hilltop Fort Saint Elme.
Terrific running in Saint-Cyprien, a coastal town known for its wide, sandy beach. Run a 5 km waterfront promenade (Baladoir de Saint-Cyprien plage), and then another 3 km on scenic paths around the port/marina, with nice views of the water, boats, & waterfront homes.
Canet-en-Roussillon is the closest coastal area to Perpingnan. There's a scenic 3.3 km promenade alongside the wide, sandy beach. Add on with the paved jetty path out to the lighthouse. Festive scene, nice beach & water views.
A nice run in Le Barcarès, a small coastal town on the Mediterranean east of Perpignan. Up to 8 km one-way, combining waterfront promenades, a marina, and a pine forest.
