Les Placelles, Atlantic beach in Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron, France.
The sandy stretch of Les Placelles beach extends along the western coast of Oléron Island, featuring sharp rocks and narrow sections near the waterline.
The beach sits on Oléron Island, which contains archaeological evidence of Roman settlements and maritime activities dating back to ancient civilizations.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at Les Placelles, specializing in catching pink and grey shrimps according to seasonal patterns.
Swimming activities at Les Placelles beach are restricted to high tide periods due to the rocky shore formation and water level variations.
The beach environment combines sandy shores with exposed rock formations, creating natural pools that fill and empty with each tidal cycle.
