Plage de la Cèpe, Sandy beach in Ronce-les-Bains, La Tremblade, France
Plage de la Cèpe is a sandy beach along the coast in Ronce-les-Bains, bordered by seaside villas and pine trees from the La Coubre forest. The shoreline curves gently, with sand dunes and forested areas creating a natural boundary between the water and the built-up areas.
The beach developed as part of Ronce-les-Bains district during the expansion of French seaside tourism in the 1800s. Wealthy families built villas here, and these residences continue to define the character of the place today.
The Theatre de Verdure near the beach hosts live music performances on summer evenings, set among pine trees with views of the sunset.
Access the beach via Place Brochard's walkway or the coastal pathways that run along the shoreline. Free parking is available nearby, though note the 2-meter height restriction at the entrance.
When the tide goes out, extensive oyster beds become visible in the shallow zones, attracting people interested in marine life. These same sandbars naturally create protected swimming areas where water stays warmer.
