Les Mathes: Bonne Anse Bay

Highlight • Other

It was formed during the 19th century following the disappearance of the island of Armote. Its richness in coastal biotopes makes it one of the largest natural sites in Charente-Maritime.
Its formation is due to the confrontation between the Atlantic currents sweeping the coasts and the currents of the Gironde flowing into the ocean.
The marine current, heavily loaded with sand, slows down as it passes Pointe de la Coubre, which allows the sand to be deposited massively around and in Bonne-Anse.
The bay is thus in perpetual evolution, so much so that the site could become an inland lake.


The extent of the dune environments is remarkable.

At the exit of the Coubre national forest, the landscape opens onto the dunes, and you can see the lighthouse.

The Coubre lighthouse watches over maritime traffic in the Gironde estuary.

Côte sauvage

Highlight • Other

This forest path offers breathtaking views of the coast. Bordering the Cambots d'Ansoine forest near La Palmyre, it is a place where nature and the sea meet. From the forest paths, the views open onto the sandbanks that change with the tides.

From there, you can appreciate this immense white sand beach which stretches as far as the eye can see. If you can't walk it, this is the best thing to do. If you are going to walk, this is a place to visit before or after walking the beach itself.
