Best beaches in Ile de Re

The Île de Ré coastline offers a diverse range of Atlantic beaches, from the sheltered shores of La Flotte and Saint-Martin-de-Ré to the wild, surf-heavy waves of the Côte Sauvage. Key features include the iconic white cabins at La Cible, the expansive dunes of the Conche des Baleines near the lighthouse, and unique sandbanks like Banc de Bucheron. Many of these sandy stretches are bordered by maritime pine forests and accessible via the island's extensive cycling network.
