Plage des Poulains

The beach extends along both sides of a path leading to the Poulains lighthouse, featuring a mix of sand, pebbles, and turquoise waters.

The nearby Fort Sarah Bernhardt, constructed during the Second Empire, served as a residence for the French actress in the late 19th century.

The fort now functions as a museum displaying artifacts and memorabilia from Sarah Bernhardt's life, including her original chair overlooking the sea.

During high tides with coefficients above 100, the connecting path to the lighthouse becomes submerged, temporarily isolating the point area.

The beach presents a dual orientation with distinct sections facing the Atlantic Ocean and the continental mainland, creating varied swimming conditions.
