Plage du Porteau, Sandy beach in Pornic, France
The Porteau Beach extends along the Atlantic coast with orange-colored sand and wooden fishing huts positioned near the water's edge.
The beach features traditional fishing cabins known as pêcheries that represent centuries of local maritime practices along the Jade Coast.
Local fishermen maintain their wooden huts along the beach, continuing the regional tradition of coastal fishing methods from fixed positions.
The beach offers supervised swimming from July to August, with lifeguards present from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
The sand contains high levels of iron oxide, giving it a distinctive orange color characteristic of Sainte-Marie-sur-Mer beaches.
