Plage de Port Meleu, Beach in Préfailles, France
Description
Port Meleu is a beach along the coast of Préfailles in western France, featuring golden-red sand and stone walls that line the corniche. The shoreline includes natural rock formations that create varied textures along its length.
History
The beach sits in a region with deep maritime roots, where stone walls and structures reflect centuries of settlement and fishing traditions. These remnants show how people have long lived and worked along this coast.
Culture
The beach serves as a gathering place during summer evenings, where locals and visitors meet at the beach bar for informal social moments. Volleyball games and casual activities reflect how this shore has become part of everyday coastal life.
Practical
