The beaches of Saint-Palais-sur-Mer

The resort offers a choice of 5 fine sandy beaches: the lively Bureau beach, lined with beach clubs and inviting terraces; the Nauzan beach, also very family-friendly and well sheltered in its conch; the Platin beach, near the Devil's Bridge, for lovers of wild nature and wide-open spaces; the small Concié cove, for those looking for an intimate, tranquil setting; or the long Grande Côte beach, a paradise for water sports enthusiasts that has nothing to envy the beaches of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region.
