The best beach bars Loire-Atlantique

Pornic, located in the Loire-Atlantique department in the Pays de la Loire region, is a charming commune on the Côte de Jade. Known for its castle and old port, it is also renowned for its seafood. The Villa Noë restaurant, located on the Noeveillard beach, offers local cuisine and seafood specialties served in an artistic style. Guests can enjoy their meal on the ocean-facing terrace or in the stone building. To accompany their meal, visitors can also visit Bar le Bahia, open all year round from 9:00 a.m. to midnight (and until 2:00 a.m. in summer). For cheese lovers, it's worth trying the Curé Nantais, a soft cheese typical of the region. And for beer lovers, the Brasserie de la Côte de Jade produces Brigantine, a local malt-based beer.

The singularity of the location, where you can eat with your feet in the sand, facing the ocean, already makes this a very special place. Summer visitors come here in the morning for a cup of coffee, at aperitif time to sip a cocktail overlooking the sea, but also to dine on home-cooked dishes such as squid tentacles lacquered with Teriyaki sauce, coconut and serrano beans, piquillo and a few vegetarian dishes. Live music is regularly organized. An address not to be missed if you want to enjoy a summer atmosphere.

The Bahia is the bar of La Villa Noë! In the extension of the restaurant, a small corner of paradise with an idyllic location, on the beach of the Noëveillard. We like the white furniture of the terrace on which you have to play elbows to get a place as soon as the sun shines. Nice cocktails menu with a variety of Spritz in particular, the aperitif which has been in vogue for a few years now is offered here in 4 variations. The Ti-punches also play with variety. For the early risers, the Bahia also offers a breakfast formula, from the opening at 9 am.
