Beaches: The blue Meditrerranean is visible from the village and just 10 minutes drive. There are flat sandy beaches for sandcastles and rocky coves suitable for snorkeling. There are often swimming platforms and pedalos or windsurfers are for hire.
Walking: Footpaths into the mountains with chestnut and cork oak trees and views to the sea, start about 10 minutes walk from the villa. The stream is fun for children to play in. There are dramatic rocky, flowery coast paths too.
Food and wine: The Cote Roussillon and Roussillon Villages red wines are superb - wine writers are just beginning to get excited about these 'under-rated' wines. There are 4 restaurants in Laroque one specialising in seafood, another offering typical robust Catalan cuisine and a third includes a Tapas bar. There are 2 bakeries, a butchers and 2 grocers. Buy from the farm: goat's cheese, olive oil, almonds, apricots, kiwi fruit.
