Seaside Resort and Beaches
Located on the Atlantic coast, our seaside resort of L’Aiguillon-la-Presqu’île is a must-see during your stay. Here, you’ll find some of Vendée’s most beautiful beaches, thrilling water sports, local bouchot mussels, fresh oysters, and scenic bike paths for safe travel.
Get familiar with tide schedules, too, and learn to read the ocean’s rhythms. The sea here rises and falls daily, which can be surprising for first-timers. Here’s a tip: at high tide, go for a swim, and at low tide, try a bit of shellfishing!
Let’s head through the dunes towards the shore. You can also explore 15 km of beaches with your pet, as long as it’s on a leash and away from supervised or protected areas.
Our sandy beaches are so spacious that everyone can find their own spot of serenity. We love the special access mat extending to the water on Bélugas Beach, which allows those with reduced mobility to get closer to the ocean for an easier swim. You’ll even find beach wheelchairs available. For those who enjoy swimming in the waves au naturel, Pointe d’Arçay’s naturist beach awaits.
Marais poitevin and Canals
Close to the beach, hop on a paddleboard, in a rowboat, or a canoe for an adventure along the Marais poitevin canals. Not a fan of the water? Opt for one of our hiking trails and fully enjoy the pleasures of the great outdoors.
