Chay Beach

Highlight • Beach

Chay Beach is a sandy beach that offers a breathtaking view of the Cordouan lighthouse. It is surrounded by rocky cliffs and, as such, is sheltered from the wind and is a pleasant place to do your hike.

Fort du Chay

Highlight • Historical Site

Built in the 18th century, Fort du Chay was integrated into the German defense system in 1940. Thoroughly rebuilt by the German occupying troops, who replaced the old facilities with blockhouses, it formed a lock at the mouth of the river mouth with the fortifications of the Pointe de Grave.
This impressive defense system was almost completely destroyed in the bombing raids of 1945. Only a few log houses remain.

Carrelets on Pigeonnier Beach

Highlight • Monument

This beach is a "tobacco-free" beach where smoking is prohibited.
After asking questions to the Ligue contre le Cancer, they point out that "vaping can be a risk reduction tool and a tool to help people quit smoking when used for a limited period of time."
