La Plage d'Aytre, Atlantic beach in Aytré, France.
The beach stretches for 1.7 kilometers along the Atlantic coast, featuring sandy shores mixed with shells and clear waters for swimming.
The beach's development paralleled the growth of Aytré as the fifth largest commune in Charente-Maritime, driven by industrial expansion near La Rochelle.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals participate in traditional French coastal activities and enjoy fresh seafood from nearby vendors.
Free parking spaces, public restrooms, and shower facilities are available, with lifeguards monitoring swimming areas during summer months.
Environmental concerns led to a temporary swimming ban in 2018, prompting extensive water quality monitoring and protection measures.
