La Conche beach
Certainly the most beautifull beach of the island, if you d’ont live 
at the end of the island it means to take the risk to have the
 Martray bottleneck if you go by car, or to be in a tearing hurry
 if you go by byke.
The open view from Phare des Baleines until Petit Bec gives an impression of immensity.
The water some degrees less warm is very clear.
The waves sometimes very strong attract surfingmen.. It is the biggest wave of the Island. The access is by a shade and coll 
byke piste, in the Lizay forest.
The smell of the tepid dunes and the parfum of the pine cone accompany you.


The Phare des Baleines high of 50 m can be visited 
and from the top you have one of the most beautifull panoramas of the region.
