Presentation

Put on your boots, put on your oilskin and grab your gear, it's time to go fishing !
On this beautiful beach, near Cormier Bay (a neighbouring town of La Plaine-sur-Mer) and the famous blue fishery, mussels, oysters and periwinkles await you.
If you venture a little further out to sea, you can find numerous cockles in summer and a few clams the rest of the year. Shrimp fishing is also practised here, but don't forget your shrimp net!

A few tips and tricks to make the most of your fishing trip:
  • check the tide times before you set off so you don't get caught out by the rising tide (the Tourist Offices can provide you with timetables if necessary).
  • Respect the natural environment: put stones back in place, avoid fishing in seaweed beds and fill in any holes you dig.
  • Sort your catch on the spot: when fishing, make sure you only take animals of legal size. Smaller specimens must be returned to their natural environment to allow them to reproduce. It couldn't be easier: just bring a calliper and a fishing basket to help you determine the authorised sizes. You can purchase these at any of our seven Destination Pornic Tourist Offices.
