La Baule's waters, in practice

The great Pouliguen bay, a sheltered arc between the Penchâteau and Chémoulin headlands. Wind-wise: a south-facing bay well defended from the prevailing westerlies, with soft summer thermals.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Pornichet marina, the bay’s main harbour. The local classics: the wild coast of the Guérande peninsula, Le Croisic and its lagoon, and the Loire estuary towards Saint-Nazaire. High season: from June to September, on one of Europe’s longest beaches.
