Plage de l'Anse Michel

Plage de l'Anse Michel is a 1 kilometer stretch of white sand along the Atlantic coast, sheltered by an offshore coral reef that breaks up the waves. The reef creates calmer water conditions in front of the beach, making it suitable for different water activities.

This location sits within the Cap Chevalier area, which has functioned as a natural barrier against Atlantic currents for a long time. The geography shaped how settlements developed along this coastline.

Local fishermen use this place in the early hours to prepare boats for trips to nearby islands, showing a way of life connected to the sea that has continued for generations. You can see this daily rhythm when you walk along the shore at sunrise.

You can reach the beach through a marked path from the parking area, with equipment rental for kayaks and kitesurfing available on site. Plan your visit based on wind and wave conditions for the best experience with water activities.

This place connects to the Trace des Caps hiking trail, allowing walkers to explore neighboring coastal paths and natural rock formations as one continuous experience. The trail link makes it possible to combine beach time with inland coastal exploration.
