Plage de la Paracou, Atlantic beach in Les Sables-d'Olonne, France
Plage de la Paracou is a sandy Atlantic beach near Les Sables-d'Olonne featuring a wide shoreline and vegetated dunes. The natural landscape rises gradually from the water's edge toward the back of the beach.
The beach became a swimming destination in the late 1800s as Les Sables-d'Olonne grew into a popular seaside resort. This growth shaped how people use the coastline today.
The beach hosts summer gatherings that celebrate the coastal way of life and bring people together for outdoor activities. You can sense this maritime tradition when you walk along the shoreline.
The beach has parking nearby and lifeguard supervision during the main swimming season for your safety. The vegetated dunes offer natural shelter and areas to explore beyond the sand.
The shoreline attracts migratory birds that pass through at different times of year, making it a spot for birdwatching. Observing these seasonal movements reveals the area's role as an important stop for wildlife.
