The Grande Plage of Fouras, in Charente-Maritime, 16 km north-west of Rochefort, is located between Fort Vauban and Bois Vert (where the resort's casino is located).
Also called "large beach", covered with white sand, it has two pontoons and has a very moderate gradient. At low tide, a water reservoir appears which looks like a natural swimming pool.
Along a promenade lined with cafes and brasseries, in the immediate vicinity of the center of the town, the Grande Plage is popular with families and swimming is supervised in July and August. Still in summer, a beach club and a volleyball court are accessible to the public, as are kayak and stand-up paddle rental points.
Ideal for lazing around and swimming, the beach is located opposite the Ile d'Aix.
