Beach overall scores
Pointe beach (Vendee) is located outside the La Prise des Canons settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. 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 sunny coast 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 Pointe 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
"It was incredibly refreshing to visit this beach. The view of the Ile de Ré bridge was truly magnificent. The beach was spacious and there was plenty of fresh air, which was rich with iodine. It's important to preserve the dunes and maintain the landscape for future generations to enjoy. I had a lovely time with my three children."

"Bertin sang about his love at the very end of the Aiguillon beach, which is also a place that holds significance for my family. I feel like there is something important that I haven't quite figured out about this spot."
