Plage de la Pointe Espagnole, Atlantic beach in La Tremblade, France

The Pointe Espagnole beach extends over 3 kilometers along the French Atlantic coast, featuring wide sandy shores and natural dunes bordered by pine forests.

The beach received its name from the wife of a Spanish schooner captain whose vessel, the Antonio Carmen, sank near these shores in December 1823.

The beach maintains designated areas for traditional beachgoers and naturist practitioners, reflecting French coastal recreation customs and social diversity.

Lifeguards supervise swimming activities from July to August between 11 AM and 7 PM, with parking facilities located 460 meters from the beach entrance.

The beach faces strong currents from the nearby Pertuis de Maumusson strait, creating specific water conditions that differ from neighboring coastal areas.
