Gruissan is one of the liveliest and most attractive resorts in this part of the Mediterranean. The 13th century Barbarossa Tower stands guard over the old fishing village and is best viewed from the lagoon where pink flamingos flit across the calm water against a stunning backdrop of hills and mountains. The main resort surrounds the marina and yacht harbour and in addition to shops and supermarkets offers a huge choice of excellent cafés, bars, and restaurants specializing in delicious platters of local seafood.
There is an outdoor cinema within walking distance and a casino with an excellent restaurant and live music. Just outside the town are nightclubs. There is a small sandy beach a few minutes’ walk from the apartments and numerous others a few minutes’ drive away for swimming, sailing and windsurfing. Tennis courts are just around the corner. The nearby Massif de la Clape offers casual and serious walkers views of rare orchids, exotic bird life and the distant Pyrenees.
