Plage de la Rémigeasse, Sandy beach in Dolus-d'Oléron, France.
The Rémigeasse beach stretches along the southwest coast of Oléron Island, offering a wide expanse of fine sand and clear waters for swimming.
The beach has been a central part of Oléron Island's coastal development since the early 20th century, when local fishing communities established their presence.
Local maritime traditions are preserved through regular summer events where visitors can learn about oyster farming and traditional fishing methods of Charente-Maritime.
The beach provides supervised swimming from July through August, with facilities including parking, bicycle racks, toilets, and a first aid station.
Natural sand dunes form a protective barrier between the beach and inland areas, creating distinct ecosystems where local flora and fauna thrive.

Oléron Island, the largest island in mainland France after Corsica, features a military, maritime, and natural heritage reflecting its strategic position facing the Atlantic Ocean. This Charente island, connected to the mainland since 1966 by a nearly three-kilometer-long bridge, houses fortifications built under Louis XIV, such as the Citadel of Château d'Oléron and Fort Louvois, as well as the famous Fort Boyard positioned on its sandbank offshore. The Chassiron Lighthouse, standing at forty-six meters high, marks the northern tip of the island and guides ships through the waters of the Pertuis d'Antioche. Beyond its defensive legacy, the island offers various natural areas where sandy beaches, pine forests, and salt marshes alternate. Saint-Trojan-les-Bains extends its wooded shoreline to the south, while Boyardville features a protected coast on its eastern side. Visitors also observe oyster farming along the La Baudissière channel and explore the colorful huts that house artist workshops at the port of Château d'Oléron. The Saltworks Museum traces the history of salt extraction, a resource that shaped the local economy for centuries.
