Beach Pointe aux Chevaux, France - Beach Guide, Info, Photos

Beach Pointe aux Chevaux is a charming, small beach located in the scenic Arcachon Bay. It is particularly popular among families due to its sheltered position, which protects it from the North East and West wind.

This makes it an ideal spot for small children to swim, although the bottom can become slightly muddy the further you venture from the water's edge.

Despite its appeal, the beach is not easily accessible, particularly during the summer months. However, those who do make the journey are rewarded with a tranquil setting that is often less crowded with tourists.
