On the water
Southwest-facing bay with moderate swell in south to northwest conditions. Sandy bottom, tidal range significant. More sheltered than the fully exposed Atlantic beaches south of La Baule.
Wind specificities
South to northwest winds all work well on this southwest-facing beach. South and southwest give cross-onshore conditions. Northwest arrives slightly offshore — check angle carefully. Good complement to La Baule in south wind conditions.
Hazards
Atlantic swell. Tidal range. Shared with fishermen and port traffic. Rocky areas south of the beach.
