However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Ile de Re and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Peu Ragot beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is a wonderful spot for families, with a large marine area to explore. During low tide, you can uncover hidden marine life and enjoy the beautiful beach. The volunteer or staff rescuers are extremely friendly and we are grateful for their daily surveillance efforts. Let's work together to preserve this beautiful part of France!"
Evan Creston
"The beach has all the necessary facilities such as toilets, outdoor showers, and nice restaurants nearby. The beach itself is not very wide and the sand is more like construction sand with rocks and shells scattered throughout. The warm water tends to attract a lot of algae, making it murky and filled with algae during high tide."
