Beaches on the seaside resorts of the Loire-Atlantique department in France

Introduction on the beaches of Loire Atlantique

The seaside resorts in Loire-Atlantique in the Pays-de-la-Loire. But in their hearts, they belong to Brittany (before 1956, Loire-Atlantique was in Brittany), which is why we think that the beaches in Loire Atlantique are in Southern Brittany. There generally are sandy beaches stretching as far as the eye can see. There are only small coves on the Wild Coast (from Pouliguen to Batz-sur-Mer).

La Baule is the most famous seaside resort of the department. There is a large sandy beach stretching over neighbouring municipalities in an urban environment. Le Croisic and Pornic offer more enjoyable and picturesque surroundings. There are even some of the most beautiful coves of the Loire-Atlantique at the latter.

The beaches of Vendée are located south of Loire-Atlantique. The destination is very family-oriented with sand as far as the eye can see. The beaches of Brittany are located in the north with first, the Gulf of Morbihan and its great ocean beaches and second, the beaches of Finistere where there are jagged coastline and secluded small coves.
