We were on vacation and wanted to have dinner at a restaurant with an ocean view. Luckily, we found one! The view was amazing, just a few meters from the beach. The terrace was small but pleasant. The service was excellent, and the manager took great care of us. And the food, oh my! It was fresh, homemade, and absolutely delicious. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to go back the next day before heading home! The prices were reasonable, the portions were generous, and the presentation was great. The street was very quiet. Everything was fantastic. I wish I lived closer to this restaurant! If you're looking for a great restaurant near the ocean, I highly recommend this one!

This is my absolute favourite spot. 😍

Ragounite beach

This is an excellent spot for those who enjoy serene environments. I arrived with my motorhome and discovered that parking facing the ocean or beneath the trees along Ragounites Road was an option. While fishing opportunities were limited, there were plenty of lovely strolls to be had along the seaside or through the forest. Jard sur Mer is a delightful town.
