Plage de Foncillon, Sand beach in Royan, France.
The beach stretches between Chay Point and Royan Port, featuring golden sand shores along the Gironde estuary near the Atlantic Ocean.
The beach has been a central part of Royan's maritime infrastructure since the establishment of the adjacent Congress Palace in the mid-20th century.
Local residents and visitors gather at Plage de Foncillon for water sports, family activities, and seasonal beach events throughout summer months.
Lifeguards monitor the beach from late June to early September, operating daily between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM with designated swimming areas.
A children's swimming pool and playground complex integrate with the beach landscape, creating dedicated zones for young visitors.
