Île d’Oleron

The Giraudière beach, located on the island of Oléron at Grand-Village-Plage, offers 3 km of fine sand bordered by a pine forest. It is a popular spot for kitesurfing, surfing, and land sailing all year round, with a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere.

The northern part is reserved for naturism, and the beach is easily accessible on foot, by bike, or by small train in summer. Swimming is supervised in July-August, and you can swim at both high and low tide.

Facilities such as a first aid station, equipment rentals, and a bar are available in season, making the spot convenient for all riders.
