Camping de la Baie

A sandy beach for swimming and sunbathing is 600 metres from Camping de la Baie, with more of the same at the Asserac beach of Baie des Dames, just to the south. If you're up for horse riding, kayaking or paddleboarding, all can be arranged at Penestin six kilometres away in Brittany's Morbihan, where the curious can also tour the Penestin mussel beds among the town's 20 kilometres of coastline, cliffs and dozen sandy beaches. For a delve into more local gastronomic history, visit the Terre de Sel salt harvesters in Pradel, 17 kilometres away. Camping de la Baie's also on the edge of the Brière Regional Natural Park, 40,000 wetland hectares to hike, bike or hack around, or to explore by flat-bottomed boat around the main expanse of the Grande Brière. A horse riding school and pony club are at the spectacular Bay of La Baule, about 20 kilometres away. Two more top destinations are a short drive away: the fishing town of La Turballe and the walled town of Guérande, both within 15 kilometres. A bit further (and more budget friendly than La Baule) is another local fishing port in Le Croisic (20 kilometres), home too to the spacious Océarium.
