Plage de Roux, Sandy beach in La Rochelle, France.
The coastline at Plage de Roux extends with a gentle slope into the water, creating shallow areas suitable for families with young children.
The beach sits near La Rochelle's maritime district, which served as a major trading port during the medieval period of French naval commerce.
Local residents gather at Plage de Roux during summer evenings for community activities, including sand sports and maritime education sessions.
Free parking spaces and public restrooms are available near the beach entrance, with several cafes within walking distance for refreshments.
The beach maintains a constant water temperature throughout the year due to specific currents from the Bay of Biscay.
