About Les Terrasses 1
Les Terrasses 1 is an artificial boat-access dive site in front of Barcarès harbor, built from concrete nozzles and large stones that protect the coast from trawling. It is a sheltered, beginner-friendly spot with a modest max depth, useful when winds are strong, and better suited to easy exploration and sheltering than to dramatic relief or long scenic runs.
