    The longest beach on the island, fine sand, good hard-surface footpath from the famous Phare des Baleins (lighthouse) with views of the Vendée coastline. This was a strategic military location as witnessed by the remains of a series of World War II blockhouse fortifications.

      Conche des Baleines translates as "Small Bay of Whales" many of which beached here in the past, giving the name to the area.
