Tharon's large beach

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful stand - completely in home hands. Without annoying salesmen, probably because of good infrastructure (ice cream truck, restaurants, takeaways ...). Good facilities with changing rooms and showers.
Ebb and flood let a lot of time to build castles!

Chemin du clos

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Smooth gravel path, suitable for cycle touring, without large rocks and crossing fields. There is almost no shade on this stretch of road, so be sure to wear a hat.

In addition to being located on the Vélodyssée route, this pleasant sandy beach has two car parks, a slipway and the famous Papagayo bar. Which makes it a very busy place in high season.
