Tharon plage

Tharon plage, Beach in Loire-Atlantique, France

Description

Tharon Plage is a beach on the Atlantic coast with fine golden sand and natural dunes stretching for about one kilometer along the shoreline. The waterfront is framed by a promenade lined with traditional beach huts.

History

The beach began developing in the late 1800s when beach chalets were first built in 1895. A major expansion project soon followed that shaped the place for decades to come.

Culture

The colorful beach huts along the waterfront reflect traditional French seaside building styles from the Atlantic coast. They form part of the daily landscape and give the place its particular character.

Practical

The beach has showers, a first aid station, and a water sports club, plus accessible entry points for visitors with reduced mobility. It is best to check current conditions and facility hours before your visit.

Did you know?

The northern section is reserved for water sports with dedicated zones for sailing, land sailing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. This area draws visitors looking to be active on the water.
