Plage de la Raise

Plage de la Raise is a sandy beach on the French Atlantic coast, about 250 meters long, with fine sand and natural rock formations. The shoreline combines both elements into a varied landscape.

The beach became part of Préfailles' coastal attractions during the 19th century growth of seaside tourism in France. This development made it a popular destination for visitors seeking Atlantic beaches.

The beach serves as a gathering place for locals who swim and spend time with family, reflecting the coastal way of life in this region.

The beach has no permanent facilities but offers free public access year-round. The best conditions for swimming and sunbathing are between June and September.

The beach transforms dramatically with the tides, becoming almost completely submerged at high tide and revealing extensive sandy areas at low tide. These extreme shifts make each visit feel different depending on when you arrive.
