Côte de Beauté, Seaside resort along the Atlantic coast in Charente-Maritime, France.
Côte de Beauté stretches along the Atlantic Ocean in southwestern France, featuring wide sandy beaches and numerous coastal towns that attract visitors seeking maritime recreation and relaxation.
The region developed as a popular tourist destination during the 19th century when city dwellers from Paris and Bordeaux began seeking coastal retreats during summer months.
Local gastronomy centers around fresh seafood specialties including oysters from nearby farms, while traditional fishing villages like Meschers-sur-Gironde preserve their maritime heritage through architecture and customs.
The area is accessible by train and road from major cities, with tourist information centers providing maps and accommodation details, though early booking is recommended during peak summer season.
The coastline features historic stone houses and remnants of old fortifications that once defended against pirates, adding historical depth to the modern seaside resort experience.
