Plage de la Concurrence, Coastal beach in La Rochelle, France
The Concurrence beach stretches along the Atlantic coast with a sandy terrain and features a wooden promenade connecting to the city center.
The beach has developed alongside La Rochelle's maritime trade activities since the Middle Ages, when the city emerged as a major French Atlantic port.
Local residents gather at Concurrence beach throughout summer evenings for open-air activities and social gatherings near the Phare Richelieu lighthouse.
From June to September, the beach provides supervised swimming areas, equipment rentals, and specially designed chairs for water access by persons with reduced mobility.
The gentle slope of the beach creates different landscapes during tide changes, revealing small pools where children search for marine life.
