The tidal current can be strong, especially outside of high tide, and can accentuate drift offshore or along the coast.

The Prises beach, on the south coast of Île de Ré, stretches at the foot of the Henri IV forest between dunes and a vast sandbank. Access is easy from La Couarde-sur-Mer, with parking and a bike path that nearly reach the water's edge.
It is a rather calm beach off-season, frequented by sailing and sliding schools. The water is clear, with a wide horizon facing the ocean, making it a pleasant spot for kitesurfing as soon as the wind picks up.
