Super plage, où il fait bon se baigner ! Cet endroit est très attachant, et vous réconcilie avec le reste du monde ! On a beaucoup de place, quand on se baigne, la superficie est vaste, mais on est en confiance. Cette grande plage de Tharon, à St-Michel-Chef-Chef, a une aura particulière, mélange de souvenirs d'enfance, d'air iodé, et de joie éternelle...
