Plage de la Pointe

The beach extends along the Atlantic coast with golden sand and offers views of La Rochelle and Île de Ré in the distance.

The beach has been part of the maritime heritage of Vendée region, where fishing activities have sustained local communities since the 18th century.

Local fishermen practice traditional shellfish gathering during low tide, maintaining age-old coastal practices passed through generations.

Swimming is not permitted at the extreme point of the beach, and dogs are prohibited both on the sand and in the dune areas.

From April to August, the beach serves as a nesting ground for kentish plovers, requiring visitors to walk on the lower section of the beach.
