Plage de la Boirie, Beach in Saint-Denis-d'Oléron, France.
Plage de la Boirie is a beach situated along the northeastern shore of Oléron Island, facing the Charente-Maritime mainland. The sandy expanse runs past a working harbor where fishing boats and colorful wooden cabins line the water's edge.
This stretch of coast took shape through fishing traditions that have defined Saint-Denis-d'Oléron for generations. The harbor and beach infrastructure grew naturally from centuries of maritime work.
Traditional beach cabins line the shoreline near the port section, representing a characteristic element of French Atlantic coastal architecture.
Supervised swimming areas and water sports zones operate here during summer months. Showers, dining options, and free parking are available to make your visit comfortable.
An Audio Plage system uses sound beacons and special bracelets to help visitors with visual impairments navigate the water safely and independently. This technology lets people experience the beach and swimming with greater confidence.
