The beach of La Conche des Baleines stretches to the north of Île de Ré, between the Phare des Baleines and the Lizay forest. It is a vast beach of fine sand that has retained a wild and authentic side, with a wide dune cordon in the background.
Access is via several parking areas and dune paths, with a monitored swimming area in summer and quieter sections towards the lighthouse. The beach is frequented for surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing, but the atmosphere remains relaxed, especially outside of peak season.
