There are lots of lovely sandy beaches to choose; from the sheltered coves of Meschers, the long sandy beaches of St Georges de Didonne and Royan, and the attractive family seaside resorts around St Palais sur Mer and Vaux sur Mer, to the wild beaches on the other side with their huge Atlantic rollers. All from a 20 – 40 minute drive from Civrac. Some beaches have children’s clubs with lots to keep the kids amused during the season.
