Unsurprisingly given its name, the windiest beach in Saint-Clément-des-Baleines. In front of you, the Bay of Biscay.

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.
