Plage des Dames, Sandy beach in Noirmoutier-en-l'Île, France
The beach stretches along the coast with fine sand and shallow waters, protected by pine trees that create natural shade for beachgoers.
The beach earned its name in the 19th century when aristocratic women arrived by steamboat to enjoy the seaside during the early days of beach tourism.
A row of traditional white wooden beach cabins lines the shore, preserving the architectural heritage of French coastal leisure from the 1800s.
Visitors can access toilets and waste bins near the beach, while a free shuttle bus connects the area to Noirmoutier-en-l'Île every fifteen minutes.
The beach reveals extensive areas for exploration during low tide, with natural rock formations on the left side providing entertainment for children.
