This site is located in a built up area although there is a lovely park area adjacent to it, but no direct access. The beach seemed like more than 800m, it is a bit of a drab walk to get there but worth it. Lovely base to cycle from with great cycle tracks all the way past Royan, or La Palmyre the other way. The facilities are Ok, but you can face a long walk. Not sure it would suit families with young kids, but the pool was adequate. The bar area had no atmosphere other than a rug of smoke. We had an invasion of frogs from the local stream one night which made the walk to and from the shower block interesting.
