With their stomachs still worn out from repeated meals, some may want to give themselves a little boost before resuming a less festive pace. It is possible in thehears thanks to the “first bath of the year”, organized on several beaches in the department Wednesday 1^is and Thursday January 2, 2025.

Notice to lovers of dipping in the Mediterranean in this season, the water is cool, but the obstacle is not insurmountable. So, it will actually be cooler inside than outside for the start of the new year. With around 14°C announced in the water and between 8 and 13 outside.

Disguised or not

This traditional bath, during which many wear Santa hats, is possible in particular at Port-la-Nouvelle, Gruissan and Leucate.

In Port-la-Nouvelle, the “New Year’s Frost Bath”, it will be Wednesday 1^is January at 11 a.m. Meet at the Casino parking lot.

The same day, around the same time, you can swim in Gruissan. Meet at 11 a.m. at the chalets. There will be, before swimming (at 11:35 a.m.), a costume contest organized by organized by the Gruissanot festival committee. Some may see it as an opportunity to add a welcome layer of clothing… And when you get out of the water… a mulled wine! Or coffee.

Finally, the next day, Thursday January 2, 2025, you will have to go to Les Falaises, in Leucate, again at 11 a.m., to, once again, brave the cold of the Mediterranean. The most courageous will of course be able to accumulate several “first baths of the year”…
