About the spot

Les Boucholeurs is on the western side of southern Noirmoutier. Local schools use southerly through northwesterly winds. Lower tides can create calmer water behind sandbanks, with chop and waves increasing later.

Distinguish this public beach access from regional teaching areas used only with supervision. Mussel installations and currents near the passage constrain the spot. Maintain clearance from the bouchots, particularly in southerly wind. Check the appropriate tide, current beach rules and remaining depth before launching.
