Chef de Baie, Public beach in La Rochelle, France
Chef de Baie extends across a 30-hectare natural area with a sandy shoreline that borders the Pertuis d'Antioche waters, northwest of La Rochelle.
The beach features military structures from the 18th century, including La Batterie and La Tour Carré, which served as coastal defense points.
Local fishermen from the adjacent port of La Pallice maintain maritime traditions through their daily activities near the beach area.
During July and August, lifeguards monitor the beach from 11 AM to 7 PM, with parking facilities and a fast food restaurant available nearby.
The beach forms part of a protected natural zone where specific plant species and wildlife thrive along the coastal environment.
