What's a conch?
This word does not seem to be French, and it seems that it is only used in Charente Maritime while everywhere else we speak of cove, cove or beach.
A conche is therefore a beach, whether it is of a respectable size like the Grande Conche and its 2.5 kilometers or narrow and enclosed between two rocky plateaus like the conche de Gilet.
Gilet beach is the last conch of Vaux-sur-Mer before arriving at Pontaillac beach in Royan.
To come to this small calm and quiet beach, access is via stairs.
In order to take advantage of the expanse of sand, it is recommended to come at low tide because at high tide, the sea completely covers it. A few rocks on the side allow you to put your towel down.
No surveillance, no infrastructure on this beach, only a few squares to enjoy it in complete privacy ...... outside the tourist period!!!!!
