Plage des Pins de Cordouan, Sandy beach in Les Mathes, France

Plage des Pins de Cordouan is one of the four beaches of La Palmyre, in the commune of Les Mathes, Charente-Maritime. Its light tan sand runs along the Gironde estuary, backed by a dune belt and the pine woods of the Coubre and Combots d'Ansoine state forests. A wooden post barrier marks the sand on the left side, and the beach faces south-west, so waves reach it partly broken by the pointe du Rhin.

The beach lies on the Grande-Côte, the westernmost of four sectors that also include the beaches of La Grande-Côte, Les Combots and La Lède. Its name refers to the Cordouan lighthouse in the Gironde estuary, but the sources record no founding date or event for the beach itself. The surrounding dune belt and pine woods belong to the Coubre state forest and the Combots d'Ansoine forest.

The beach takes its name from the Cordouan lighthouse, which stands at the mouth of the Gironde estuary. It is the westernmost of the four Grande-Côte sectors, after the beaches of Grande-Côte, Combots and Lède. In winter the hard sand hosts land sailing, a regular practice here alongside surfing and stand-up paddling.

The beach is reached by the D25 road, by bicycle on the greenway from Ronce-les-Bains to Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, or in high season by Cara'Bus line 31 from the Royan area. It lies at the western end of La Palmyre, closest to the Club Med, and is entered from the seafront. A Tiralo beach wheelchair is available on request at the lifeguard post.

The beach has stronger waves than the neighboring cove due to its southwestern exposure to the Gironde estuary. This makes it attractive to visitors seeking more active water conditions.
