Jard-sur-Mer is more noted for its attractive harbour
than its beaches, though there are beaches and an area of rocks where the
pleasures of discovering the treasures of the underwater world can keep children
and adults alike entertained for hours.
To the south the Plage du Grand
Boisvinet has a base for divers and windsurfers although swimming is
prohibited. The Plage de Boisvinet has surveillance, and the rocks are
exposed at low tide. Next to the harbour the Plage de Morpoigne, reveals
rocks and rock pools at low tide.
To the north of harbour, the Plage du
Pe du Canon is a beautiful beach with fine golden sand and surveillance. The
Plage de la Point du Canon is rocky. The Plage de Madoreau is on a rocky
coastline with sand above the high water mark. The Plage de Legere is
similar to the Plage de Madoreau.
The Plage de la Ragounite is the last
of the beaches it has a narrow strip of sand above the high water mark, though
it is a little wider than the previous two beaches.
The Plage
de la Mineon the edge of the Payre reserve is a beautiful beach of fine
sand with surveillance and facilities during season.
