Here, you don’t need a car to get to the beach: it only takes a few minutes to feel the sand beneath your feet and hear the sound of the waves. Whether you prefer an early-morning swim, a siesta in the sun or a long stroll at sunset, everyone can find their own rhythm… and it feels really good.
Sandy beaches just minutes away
A coastline of 22 km of beaches
In the immediate vicinity of the campsite, you’ll find several beaches typical of Saint-Jean-de-Monts, renowned for their size and quality. The nearest, Plage de la Davière, is a large sandy beach sheltered by dunes, ideal for a day out with the family.
More widely, the Saint-Jean-de-Monts coastline offers almost 22 km of beaches where everyone can find their own piece of paradise. Some beaches are lively and supervised, while others are wilder, perfect for relaxing in front of the ocean.

Seaside sports
The seaside at Saint-Jean-de-Monts is not just a place to relax, it’s also a real spot for water sports. From the beaches close to the campsite, you can try your hand at sand yachting, an emblematic activity of the region, or take to the water on a catamaran, paddle or kayak.
The wind, the space and the quality of the coastline make it the perfect place to discover or rediscover the thrill of gliding. And there’s no need to be an expert: there are areas to suit all levels.
If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, the long beaches are also ideal for walking, running or simply enjoying the spectacle of the ocean. Here, we breathe, slow down… and let ourselves be carried away.
Between dunes, forest and ocean: a unique natural setting
Between sea and nature
What makes your stay even more enjoyable is the natural environment surrounding the campsite. Situated between pine forests and the coast, the site offers a variety of pleasures, from beaches to nature walks.
Even before you reach the ocean, you may find yourself crossing dunes or shady paths, with the sensation of a total break from everyday life. On foot or by bike, the many perfectly laid-out cycle paths make getting around easy and enjoyable.
It’s this blend of sea, forest and wide open spaces that makes Saint-Jean-de-Monts so charming. You can switch from one atmosphere to another in just a few minutes: one moment with your feet in the water, the next in the shade of the pines.
And that’s exactly what a real vacation is all about: taking your time, enjoying the moment, and savoring a natural, unspoiled setting without having to go far.
