La Mitre is a small rocky beach near the Tour Royale. It takes its name from a rock shaped like a bishop’s mitre. It is a good spot for a swim followed by a walk around the neighbourhood.
The beach and its surroundings
The upright rock in the water resembles a bishop’s mitre and provides the beach’s visual landmark. Changing light strongly affects the atmosphere. A visit outside the swimming season can be rewarding for photography or a quiet pause, although you should keep a safe distance from rocky edges.
Choose La Mitre for a relatively short swim followed by a walk through the neighbourhood or towards the Tour Royale. It is less convenient than a large beach when you have bulky equipment, a heavy pushchair or a substantial picnic.
The council identifies access from Quai Bellerive and the Tour Royale car park as a parking option. The council also states that the beach closes from 9.30 pm. Follow the times displayed locally even if you would like to spend the evening beside the water.
