Plage de la Baule

The beach of La Baule is a wide expanse of fine sand stretching along the Atlantic coast in the Pays de la Loire region. The sandy shore curves gently between two towns and offers plenty of space where people walk, relax, swim, or play various beach activities.

The area began as a small fishing village before gradually transforming into a destination for visitors seeking rest and time by the sea. Over time, modest homes and simple structures were built to welcome travelers, shaping the coastal town it is today.

The beach has served as a gathering place where families and locals enjoy the simple pleasures of sun, sand, and sea throughout the year. Walking along the shore is a daily habit for many, whether for exercise, reflection, or simply spending time with loved ones in this part of Brittany.

The beach is accessible by car, bicycle, or on foot with parking areas nearby for convenience. Lifeguards are present during peak seasons to ensure safety, and basic facilities like restrooms and water fountains are available at different spots along the shore.

The shore curves in a distinctive gentle arc that changes appearance and sand width depending on the tides throughout the day. Colorful bathing cabins line portions of the beach, adding a charming visual character to the place.
