Pointe du Grouin de Loix

Highlight • Beach

Most of the 15 ha currently surrounding you are cultivated oyster beds. It is a pleasant place to walk among the dunes and meadows.

Fort du Grouin

Highlight • Historical Site

The Fort du Grouin is a remarkable military heritage site at the Pointe du Grouin, originally designed to defend and monitor the Loidaise coast, but it was never armed.
Today it is privately owned and unfortunately cannot be visited.
