Batz-sur-Mer

The Govelle beach in Batz-sur-Mer, on the wild coast of Loire-Atlantique, is a popular spot for surfers due to its consistent waves and fine sand surrounded by rocks. Located between Batz-sur-Mer and Le Pouliguen, it offers easy access with free parking and proximity to the customs path for a walk after the session.

It is a lively place in season with a surf school on site that offers lessons starting from age 5. The SNSM lifeguards monitor the beach in July and August, making the spot safe for all levels.

At low tide, the rocks attract shore fishermen, but the water remains excellent for swimming and sliding all year round.
