Latest reviews on Bayonne's beaches

Milady Beach
6 Eamon Callahan

The waves are too rough for swimming, but perfect for surfers. Some days, the sand is too firm to relax on. On Monday, the local authorities were drilling nearby all morning.

Cavalier Beach

Showers are unavailable for what seems like water conservation purposes, despite the presence of a large golf course nearby that uses a watering system. The decision to restrict access to showers results in individuals having to return home covered in sand and sweat to shower, ultimately defeating the purpose of water conservation. The lack of logic in closing the showers during the summer in a region known for its abundant rainfall is puzzling.

Ondres Beach

Lovely beach with the only downside being that it may not be ideal for families with children due to the potentially hazardous sea conditions.
