Plage du Veillon, Public beach in Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, France
The sandy beach extends along one kilometer of coastline where the Payré estuary meets the Atlantic Ocean at the western French shore.
Scientists discovered dinosaur footprints near the beach in 1963, revealing evidence of prehistoric reptiles inhabiting the Vendée coastal area.
The nearby oyster park of La Guittière maintains traditional marine harvesting methods while offering visitors direct sales of fresh seafood products.
Visitors access dedicated parking areas, restroom facilities, and seasonal lifeguard services during the summer months from June through September.
The meeting point of the Payré estuary and ocean creates different water environments, allowing both calm and wave activities in the same location.
