The Ocean beach at Saint-Brevin-les-Pins
When temperatures rise, there’s nothing like the sea air to escape the summer heat. Between dunes and pine forest, the Plage de l’Océan stretches for several kilometers. A popular beach for families, board sports enthusiasts and holidaymakers in search of space and nature. From our campsite in Saint-Brevin-les-Pinscome and discover the Ocean beach.
A large family beach with natural charm
In Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, Plage de l’Océan is one of the mostbeautiful beaches in Loire-Atlantique. Wild, spacious and unspoilt, it’s all about nature. Surrounded by pine trees and bordered by dunes, the long Brevin beach offers a calm, relaxing environment.
On the seafront, a number of snack bars, toilets and play areas complete the facilities. A beach club welcomes children in July and August, with games, entertainment and supervised swimming.
Parents, remember to pass by the lifeguard station as soon as you arrive on the beach. The lifeguards will provide you with free identification bracelets: simply write your name and address on them and attach them to your child’s wrist. It’s a simple gesture, for added peace of mind when swimming. Colorful totems also line the beach to help children (and adults!) find their way around easily.

During the summer season, the Plage de l’Océan is supervised. A 300-meter-wide bathing area is marked out to the north of the line of the allée des Vignes. The beach has also been awarded the Handiplage label, with a tiralo and a seahorse chair available. Easy access thanks to wooden decking and a duckboard walkway.
