Plage de la Pointe Espagnole, Atlantic beach in La Tremblade, France
Plage de la Pointe Espagnole is a beach on the French Atlantic coast in La Tremblade with wide sandy shores and natural dunes. Pine forests border the coast and create a green backdrop behind the sand.
The name comes from the wife of a Spanish schooner captain whose vessel Antonio Carmen sank near these shores in 1823. This shipwreck left a lasting mark on the area's identity.
The beach maintains designated areas for traditional beachgoers and naturist practitioners, reflecting French coastal recreation customs and social diversity.
The beach is easy to reach and has parking facilities near the entrance for visitors. Lifeguards are present during the warmer months to help with water safety.
Water here moves with strong currents from the nearby Pertuis de Maumusson strait. These special conditions make the sea behave differently than at other nearby beaches.
