What to do in Plage du Mole? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Plage du Mole can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach. To swim, to sunbathe, to drink a couple of cocktails, again to swim and again to sunbathe, the variety usually is very limited. But on Plage du Mole you can test yourself in such an activity as water jumping. It's fun and it's scary, the rest you have to experience on your own. There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at Plage du Mole. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.

The beach is absolutely stunning with its sand. Although it was quite busy, it was still possible to find a comfortable spot to relax.

Great spot for swimming all day thanks to the seawater pool built by Rene Lesaunier to accommodate changes in the tides.

This beach is fantastic and boasts a stunning salt water swimming pool. However, it's important to be mindful of the eagles that may attempt to snatch your food and belongings. Additionally, the beach is adorned with beautiful golden sand.
