Plage de la Torchère

Plage de la Torchère is a beach located in Cap-Ferret, known for its long and clean sandy shores. The beach is particularly popular among kitesurfing enthusiasts due to its favorable conditions. However, visitors should be aware of a strong flow in the water. The beach is characterized by its tranquility, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Despite its popularity, the beach is not overly crowded, offering a serene environment for relaxation. Access to the beach involves a hike up a significant sand dune, which may be challenging for some visitors. The beach's parking situation is also noted to be less than ideal. Additionally, the beach's name, 'Torchère', which translates to 'the torch', is derived from the practice of burning gas in the area, which can result in a noticeable smell.
