Plage des Chatelets

Plage des Chatelets is a sandy beach on the Loire-Atlantique coast that extends for several hundred meters with clear Atlantic waters. The strand features soft sand and a gentle slope into the water.

The beach has been a key point for local fishing communities since the early 20th century and supported maritime activities. This economic role shaped the region's coastal development.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals practice traditional seaside activities and celebrate seasonal festivals. These customs reflect the community's deep connection to maritime life.

The beach offers free parking, showers, and restroom facilities for visitors year-round. During summer months from June through September, lifeguards are on duty to watch over swimmers.

Natural rock formations create small pools at low tide, revealing various marine creatures in their natural surroundings. This changing landscape invites exploration of local sea life.
