When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–August; July scores 9.5/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 23.5 °C and 14 mm of rain.
In July that is 1.6 points above the median of the 625 beaches in France covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 2.3 °C warmer than the France median for August (22.1 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 18.0 °C, cooler than 58% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (126 mm) and July the driest (14 mm); the yearly total is about 700 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.0 hours in December to 15.4 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 06:05 and sets at 21:12 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south (170°). Open water fills about 31% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 238° to 304°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in November–January.
Straight out to the south about 500 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 24 m deep and 70 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 6 m above sea level 500 m inland and 6 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 87% built-up land, 7% tree cover and 4% bare ground, sand or rock (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 44% of that circle.
- Built 87%
- Tree 7%
- Bare 4%
