Plage de la Birochère

Plage de la Birochère is a tranquil family-friendly beach located in Pornic, a town in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France. It is situated in the region of Pays de la Loire, on the Jade coast. The beach is characterized by its sandy shore, which is nestled between rugged rocks. One of the distinguishing features of Plage de la Birochère is the "chemin des douaniers," a pedestrian path that runs above the beach. This pathway offers stunning views of the surrounding area, including the Noëveillard port filled with pleasure boats and the picturesque Bernerie coast. The beach is well-equipped with amenities to ensure a comfortable stay for visitors. These include beach cabins, public toilets, and showers. A notable highlight is the panoramic restaurant situated at the top of the path, where visitors can enjoy a meal while taking in the breathtaking views. During the summer season, specifically in July and August, Plage de la Birochère is supervised by lifeguards, ensuring a safe swimming environment. Despite this, the beach maintains a preserved environment, further enhanced by the presence of charming fishing huts and cliffs. Access to Plage de la Birochère can be made through stairs or a sloping path on the left side of the beach. However, potential visitors should be aware that parking in the area can be challenging due to the popularity of this beach. Despite this, Plage de la Birochère continues to be a beloved destination for both locals and tourists.
