Access

At the entrance of Penestin, at the roundabout, turn right towards Le Branzais, go to the end of the road. At the stop sign, turn right and park in the parking lot under the pine forest. From there explore the area on foot. For the best birding on the beach it's best to be there at mid-tide or low tide.
