Plage du Grignon
France · Nouvelle-Aquitaine
What riders say
Rocks are present at low tide in front of the beach, so it is important to carefully identify the areas before navigating.
The shorebreak can be powerful on days of big swell, especially at mid-rising tide.
Tidal currents can carry you offshore or along the coast, so it is better not to navigate alone.

The Grignon beach, at the western end of Ars-en-Ré, is located at the end of a small road that leads between pines, dunes, and salt marshes. You arrive via a parking area set back, then a path allows you to cross the dune before emerging onto a rather wild beach facing the open sea.
The spot is known for its point, the Grignon point, which is very exposed to swell and west wind. It is a place appreciated by surfers, windsurfers, and experienced wingfoilers, with a rather local and sporty atmosphere, especially on days of big swell.
