Plage du Moulin Brûlé

Plage du Moulin Brûlé

Located on the Atlantic coast of Vendée, about 15 kilometers southwest of Saint-Clément-des-Baleines, Plage du Moulin Brûlé is part of the characteristic coastline of the Île de Ré. This stretch of coast is part of a succession of small fine sandy beaches that dot the northeastern shore of the island, facing the Charentais straits. The shore, protected from offshore swells by the island's geography, benefits from moderate exposure to westerly winds. The beach itself features fine golden sand, typical of the Vendée coastlines. Modest in length, it is part of a string of small, distinct bathing areas: Plage du Boutillon is located just 0.6 kilometers to the northwest, while Plage des Prises extends 1.2 kilometers to the southeast. This immediate proximity to its neighbors creates a fragmented micro-coast atmosphere, where each beach has its own character. Moulin Brûlé remains a quiet stop, without significant infrastructure, offering direct access to sand and water without being overcrowded. The absence of supervision and the Blue Flag label characterize this site, which retains a natural and undeveloped profile. No major amenities (toilets, structured parking, showers) are reported. Accessibility for people with reduced mobility is not guaranteed. This configuration makes it a discreet swimming spot, preserved from the heavy developments that characterize other areas of the island.
