Kampaoh La Rochelle

Lounging on the beach is a fine option – but if you need more activity, you can also play games of miniature golf or sign up for various watersports including jetskiing and kitesurfing. There’s also the option of exploring the salt marshes a few kilometres south of the town – either on bikes, on foot or on horseback. There’s a lot of birdlife to see here, so binoculars are a good idea too if you're into wildlife watching. You will, of course, have noted that La Rochelle is close by too – you can get up to the seaside town in about 20 minutes by car or train. Once you're there, start with a stroll around the Vieux Port to see the medieval towers, perhaps poke around in the central market and then visit the cathedral, the Maritime Museum or Aquarium La Rochelle – one of the best aquariums anywhere in Europe. La Rochelle is also the gateway to the gorgeous Ile de Ré – a fabulous place for a bike ride between the beaches, salt marshes and villages.
