Plage des Chardons, Sandy beach in L'Aiguillon-la-Presqu'ile, France.
The Plage des Chardons extends along the Vendée coast, offering a wide strip of fine sand and clear water views toward the Atlantic Ocean.
The beach area has maintained its natural state through decades, serving as a reference point for maritime navigation along the Vendée coastline since the 1800s.
Local residents gather at Plage des Chardons during summer evenings to participate in traditional petanque tournaments and seasonal festivities.
Multiple access points connect the beach to nearby parking areas, while designated swimming zones ensure safety under the supervision of qualified lifeguards.
The beach location allows visitors to observe both sunrise and sunset over the water due to its position on a peninsula.
