Plage de la Rémigeasse, Sandy beach in Dolus-d'Oléron, France.
Plage de la Rémigeasse stretches along the southwest coast of Oléron Island with a wide strip of fine sand and calm water. The shoreline borders natural sand dunes that form a buffer zone between the beach and inland areas.
The beach became central to the island's coastal development in the early 20th century when fishing communities established their presence. This maritime heritage continues to define the area's character and economy.
The beach connects to oyster farming, a traditional activity passed down through generations of local families who shape the island's way of life.
The beach has lifeguard supervision in summer and provides parking, bicycle racks, toilets, and a first aid station for visitors. The water is generally calm during this period and easy to swim in.
The sand dunes behind the beach harbor specialized plants and animals adapted to sandy habitats, forming rare ecological niches. This natural barrier protects the island from erosion while creating a valuable habitat.
