First of all Chatelets beach (Loire-Atlantique) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun.

This beach is a beautiful, secluded spot with no lifeguards on duty. However, due to the abundance of rocks, it may not be the best option for swimming.

The beach has a serene atmosphere, with the added bonus of a natural elephant sculpture created by the sea. A scenic walking path for artists and history enthusiasts alike runs along the coast. Benches are thoughtfully placed for optimal enjoyment of the stunning landscape.

It's a great spot for a family day out, but be mindful of the rougher areas if you have young children. The older kids will enjoy the opportunity to climb around. The path is mostly stroller-friendly for the first two kilometers from the parking lot.
