Great little beach

This beach is absolutely stunning, and it's refreshing to see that there are very few plastic particles littering the area. Let's all work together to keep it that way! The walking trails around the beach are a great way to explore the area, and it's less crowded than the nearby Pointe de Grouin. However, I would caution against swimming alone due to the strong currents. There are also some lovely ocean pools nestled between the rocks, which are like miniature ecosystems of their own. Just be sure to check the tides before venturing out to explore. Overall, this is a wonderful spot to enjoy the beauty of the ocean.

This charming beach boasts lovely tide pools, though at low tide the shoreline can be a bit rocky. During my visit, I was thrilled to spot some Common Bottlenose Dolphins swimming quite close by, making my time here all the more worthwhile.

This beach is a fantastic hidden gem, located just a short distance from Pointe du Grouin. Take the path down and discover a secluded area with beautiful views and soft, sandy shores. It's the perfect spot to escape and unwind.
