Plage de la Loge, Sandy beach in Les Portes-en-Ré, France
Plage de la Loge is a sandy beach on the northern coast of Île de Ré, stretching between the Fourneau cove and La Redoute fortification. White sand forms a long shoreline with views toward open water.
The beach sits near ancient salt marshes worked continuously since medieval times, shaping the island's economic growth. This salt-harvesting heritage remains part of local identity today.
The nautical center teaches visitors traditional sailing and windsurfing skills that locals practice throughout summer. These water sports shape how people spend their days here during the season.
Access the beach via the D101 road past Les Portes-en-Ré town center, where you'll find parking and washroom facilities at the entrance. Low tide reveals shallow areas that are easy to walk into and explore.
At low tide, small coves and rock pools form along this stretch, creating hidden pockets to explore. From here, you can see across the water to the sharp profile of Pointe du Fier headland.
