Latest reviews on La Mechiniere's beaches

Plage de Gatseau
10 Emilie Durand

This beach is a peaceful spot with attentive and supportive lifeguards. It's an ideal location for swimming because of the gentle or non-existent current and minimal waves. The sand is immaculate and perfect for creating sandcastles and digging.

Plage des Huttes
10 Ethan Greyson

This beach is great, but I'm not sure if I should recommend it. It's nice to keep it kind of secluded from the mass tourism on Oleron. But, between you and me, it's the best beach in the region.

Plage de la Giraudiere
8 Luisa Luna Diaz

The beach is quite lovely, but it's important to note that vans won't be able to reach it. Bicycles are highly recommended for getting there.

Plage de Boyardville
10 Lunadore Children

This is my favorite beach in Oleron. The view is absolutely stunning, with the ocean stretching out before you and a refreshing breeze in the air. You can even catch a glimpse of Fort Boyarde from the beach. I adore this place and I'm sure you will too. It's worth a visit in any season, so come and see for yourself!

Remigeasse beach
8 Ethan Marlowe

This is the best beach on this side of the island for us, especially during low tide when it's perfect for the kids! However, during the middle of summer, parking can be a bit tricky after 10 a.m. Nevertheless, there is plenty of space to park and even secure your bike 🚲.

Plage de Soubregeon
