Plage de l'Avant port, Beach in Binic, Binic-Étables-sur-Mer, France
Plage de l'Avant-Port is a small sandy beach on the left shore between the harbor pier and Pointe de la Rognouse. The section near the port is easily accessible and popular, while the northern part features large rocks that make it less practical to use.
The harbor pier was built to improve access to the port and became a local landmark. The beach cabins date back several decades, preserving the simple and authentic character that the area has maintained over time.
The colorful changing cabins give this place a cheerful character that reflects local beach traditions. Locals gather here to relax and watch boats moving in and out of the nearby harbor throughout the day.
Access to the beach is via a small path carved into the cliff. The site offers showers, toilets, picnic tables under trees, a lifeguard post staffed during summer months, and adapted facilities for people with reduced mobility.
The harbor pier was historically built using stone extracted directly from the neighboring cliff face. Early risers can often spot local fishermen casting lines from the pier, a practice that continues as part of daily life here.
