Terrière Beach in La Tranche-sur-Mer - France

Our opinion on the Terrière Beach

Terrière Beach in La Tranche sur Mer is the northernmost beach of the seaside destination. It is the most wild beach with beautiful dunes and a nice forest to the north. This large sand beach extends for about two kilometers. There is a lifeguard in the summer and we can practice numerous water sports here. We find a big parking lot with about 500 places. There are paths across the dunes that lead to the beach (entrance 152 is paved, the others are sand).

To get here, follow directions for La Terrière then take the road “rue de la Mer” and “rue d'Espagne”. The parking lot is at the end of this one way road. Exit through the forest.

Note that after entrance 152, there is a nudist zone 300 meters after the lifeguard station if you go north (about 5 minutes by foot).

Dogs are allowed outside of lifeguarding zones.

Attention: swimming is dangerous on this beach north of La Tranche sur Mer. There are holes and currants. There are also large, strong waves. It is better for water sports rather than swimming.
