Les Sables Beach (Le Grande Plage)

6 reviews of Les Sables Beach (Le Grande Plage)

Fine Golden Sand and Deep Blue Water

The large beach of Sables is Les Sables d'Olonne's main beach. It's more than 3 kilometres long, and has been considered for centuries as one of the most beautiful beaches of Europe and the Coast of Light. You can admire the fine golden sand and deep blue water that only this view can hold. The beach has handicap access, and in summer it has daily life guard services. It's part of the "clean beaches" operation, providing beach goers with ashtrays to prevent contamination. On this beach there's the "Base de Mer y la Punta Plage" where you can take a trip on the sea or take part in a sports competition.

Along the beach there are restaurants and bars to have a drink or bite to eat overlooking the ocean. During the summer evenings, the baordwalk is reserved for pedestrians and street artists. Every winter from 2008 until April 2012, the promenade was subject to an ambitious program of public space beautification: a new traffic plan prioritized pedestrians and cyclists, spacious terraces and commercial animation endowing green areas, and lampposts that surprise the public for resembling the mast of a sailboat.

The wide beach of Sables is the main...

La grande plage des Sables est la...

La grande plage des Sables est la principale de la ville des Sables d'Olonne. Elle s'étend sur plus de 3 kilomètres et est considérée depuis deux siècles au moins comme une des plus belles plages d'Europe et de la Côte de Lumière. Et on lui accorde volontiers cette réputation lorsqu'on admire le sable fin et doré ainsi que l'eau d'un bleu profond. La plage est accessible aux handicapés et surveillée tous les jours pendant la période estivale. La plage bénéficie également de l'opération "plage propre" qui consiste à mettre des cendriers à disposition des plagistes afin qu'ils ne polluent pas. C'est sur cette plage que se trouvent la Base de Mer et le Point Plage pour faire une sortie en mer ou participer à un tournoi sportif. Tout au long de la plage, vous pouvez vous arrêter dans un restaurant de plage ou un bar afin de prendre un verre ou un plat en contemplant l'océan. Chaque soir l’été, le front de mer, rendu totalement aux piétons, et aux artistes de rues. Depuis 2008 et jusqu’en avril 2012, le front de mer fait l’objet chaque hiver d’un ambitieux programme d’embellissement des espaces publics : Nouveau plan de circulation donnant la priorité aux piétons et cyclistes, élargissement des terrasses commerciales, aménagements et verdissement de lieux de détente et d’animation, surprenant éclairage public fait de candélabres ressemblant à des mats de voiliers.

Great beach as the name suggests

Grande plage comme son nom l’indique

Excellent
Seulement a marée basses, marées impressionnantes par ailleurs. Mieux vaut y aller tôt l’été si vous voulez une place.
Only at low tide, impressive tides by the way. Better to go early in the summer if you want a place.

Plage orientée plein sud à 5 minutes du centre-ville. Grande baie sécurisante pour les enfants. Idéal pour le longe-côte. Mais aussi pour manger ou prendre un verre.
