The most beautiful natural sites to discover New Aquitaine

Yes, vineyard used to be grown here, on the Cap Ferret peninsula. Muscat, chasselas or cabernet, the avenues of the penisula still bear the mark. Surrounded by fine sand beaches, the village has superb villas scattered on the slope of the dune and its marina, dating back to 1960 and built on former fish tanks, is quite remarkable. Here the tide arises less than elsewhere, due to the unusual layout of the coast and the channels. Thus a large cement pontoon could be built in order to load heavy tonnages on boats.

It is a naturist beach frequented by families the summer but with a gay corner. From the Parking car park, take the central road towards the beach. Come to the sea at the rescue station, turn left along the sea over 250 meters. However, beware of your the, the gendarmes are never far away.

Between Rochefort and La Rochelle, two areas regulating the express route connected by a tunnel, from the parking from the beach to the beach. Walk over 2 km along the beach, behind the bird reserve.

Also called the Petit-Sergeant Beach, there is dredge on the dunes and at the level of the blockhouse. A lot of mecs in the summer looking for fun.

Access via the D 25, between La Palmyra and Saint-Palais-sur-Mer. Parking (night and night dredge) or view cars parked next door. Cut the cycle trail and continue straight to the beach. The rather gay area is located on the beach on the right, and the dredge takes place in the basement just behind.

The beach is located in the Forêt forest. From the D 25, look for cars parked from the crossing with the D 268. Take the paved path leading to the bicycle path. Turn left and take the first forest path on the right. Walk 15 min. Dredge in bois and dune. Attended the beautiful days until October, with a peak of fréquentation by the beautiful tan guys in July-August!

Municipal authorization of January 27, 1984. Swimming monitored by MND from July to August.

The beach is well marked by signposts from the exit of Royan's tray… it bodes well! - Just follow them up to the parking lot. Bathing is monitored. It is a moderately busy beach. Beautiful view on the lighthouse of Cordoba. The left side of the beach is exclusively naturist, the right side is textile, in the center there is no one. Bathing is monitored on both sides.

A portion of the beach - 300 meters on the town of St-Palais and 500 meters on the Maths commune - has been officially naturist since 1977. These 800 meters are reduced to 600 meters in summer. Easy access by RD 25 and insured parking. Bathing is monitored. Beach managed by the Naturist Club of Charente. Be careful not to drag too much in the forks removed from the dune.

Great and very beautiful beach exclusively naturist that is managed by the center. Dangerous but supervised. Attendance is important near access to the beach, it is family. If you are not in the center, just follow La Jenny Road to the end, without turning left towards the center entrance. You arrive at a large parking lot frequented by the surfers and you can only reach the beach by the dunes.

Only on uncontrolled beaches

Dogs are allowed only outside the bathing area.

This tongue of land, which plunges into the ocean, concentrates many of the challenges of an area classified as a Regional Nature Park: its preserved nature, its unique and incredibly varied landscapes from the vineyards to the lakes; from the ocean to the forest, its water, its estuary, its forestry economy, its traditions, its companies with unique know-how, but also its social and economic fragilities. The Park extends over 51 communes, 4 communities of communes and brings together 4 major landscape entities.

Stretching over more than 3 km, the beach of Hendaye is a privileged site with a panorama that extends from the Spanish shores to the 2 large rocks called "the Twins" which are, perhaps, the most characteristic of the city. The beach is a good compromise, both for beginners and for experienced surfers in search of sensations. The beach operators offer various services such as the rental of tents, deckchairs and beach clubs. In summer, sand castle contests follow Zumba classes and yoga initiations.
