La Cabane des Sablons : a real postcard !

Nestled on the Sablons beach, La Cabane des Sablons welcomes you from April to September in a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere. Sit back on the deckchairs with your feet in the sand and enjoy a breathtaking view of the island of Noirmoutier.

The team's favorites : the beers from La Brigantine (a pornic brewery), the oysters from La Bernerie-en-Retz, the tapas menu in the evening and the beach games for children.

Welcome aboard the Fleur des ondes

Located in Pornic's harbor, the Fleur des ondes is an old rigging classified as a “boat of heritage interest” that has been renovated by Christophe, Mélanie and Denis, 3 Pornic locals, and transformed into an “oyster bar”. Moored at Quai Leray, Place du Môle, this atypical, charming and convivial bar offers a generous aperitif board of oysters, shellfish and crustaceans, accompanied by a craft beer or a glass of local wine.

We love : the feeling of being right in the heart of the town, the magical atmosphere at dusk with garlands of lights and the Château de Pornic in the background.
