Beaches and water sports

Just 500m from one of France’s most beautiful beaches

Le Veillon isn’t just a superb sandy beach. It’s a large natural area comprising the beach, a dune almost 1 kilometer long, the Payré estuary which runs around the dune, cliffs and a splendid forest of pines and holm oaks. You’ll find hidden coves with pebble beaches. Talmont-Saint-Hilaire is blessed with a generous and above all unspoilt natural environment. The beach at Le Veillon, sculpted by the natural elements, will never be the same throughout the seasons.

The Payré estuary is a large natural area comprising salt marshes, fish marshes, classified oyster beds and dune massifs. Classified as a “Grand Ensemble Naturel”, it was designated Vendée’s first remarkable site in 2007. This natural area is of course protected under the Natura 2000 protection zoning . However, guided tours are available for groups.

The Bois du Veillon is one of the finest holm oak and pine woodlands on the Atlantic coast. Our holidaymakers will be immersed in a unique area in terms of biodiversity.

Also, since 2014, the Blue Flag label rewarding bathing water quality has been flying over the Veillon beach.

Lovers of relaxation, fishing, boating and nature walks will find plenty to do at Le Veillon.

Water sports – Let’s go for it!

On the water, in the water, on beaches, lakes or rivers… In summer, water activities plunge us into an ocean of fun and relaxation. Surfing, windsurfing, sand yachting, kite-surfing, canoeing… there’s something for every age and every taste. The Camping des Flots de l’Océan, located close to the ocean, invites you to share the joys of “surfing”, with family or friends.

In the mood for adrenaline? The beaches of the Atlantic are the ideal spot to challenge the rollers and take to the waves in surf or body-surf. Here, you can also try your hand at kite-surfing, provided you’re a good swimmer and have good balance… On the murky waters of Le Payré, don’t hesitate to “paddle” standing up on your stand-up paddle! Our beaches are the perfect playground for sand yachting and for staying at our seaside campsite. Or perhaps you’d prefer to take a trip out to sea or go fishing from Port Bourgenay?
You can also enjoy the incomparable water-based pleasures of towed buoys and water skiing right next to our Vendée campsite.

The best way to enjoy our beautiful coastline is by canoeing down the white waters.
Whatever your destination, discover water sports in complete safety from the comfort of your campsite. Talmont Saint-Hilaire is the ideal destination for family fun on sailing yachts, creating unforgettable memories for all.
