Top Beaches in France

Try to wander a few streets back from the beach for lunch. I discovered this hole-in-the-wall restaurant with great seafood that was way more budget-friendly than the beach-front places.

If you can, visit the beach early in the morning, around 8 AM. It’s so much quieter then, and you can snag a great spot without the crowds. Plus, the sunrise feels magical.

My advice is to check local food trucks instead of restaurants. They offer delicious meals at a fraction of the price and have that laid-back vibe.

If you want to avoid the hassle, download a local map offline. I lost data signal when I got there, and it made finding my way back a bit tricky.

My advice is to visit during the week, especially on Tuesday or Wednesday. The beach was way less crowded, and I got the best spot to soak up the sun!

Grab a baguette and some cheese from a local shop for a picnic on the sand. It’s way cheaper than the beachside cafes and twice as satisfying. I didn’t do this and regretted it!

Definitely check the wind conditions before you go. It can get super windy, which is great for kite surfing, but not so great if you're just trying to sunbathe!
