Plage des Anneries
Located on the Atlantic coast of Charente-Maritime, about 15 kilometers south of Rochefort, Plage des Anneries stretches along a coastline characterized by mudflats and fine sandy beaches typical of the Charente estuary. This stretch of shore, exposed to the tides of the North Atlantic, benefits from a coastal hydrodynamics that continuously shapes the profile of the beach. The area, sparsely urbanized, retains a strong rural character, dominated by farmland and small hamlets in the hinterland. The beach itself consists of compact, golden sand, forming a moderately wide shoreline depending on the tidal cycles. Unlike Plage des Follies, located just 0.3 kilometers to the north and often more frequented, the Anneries offer a more secluded atmosphere. 1.8 kilometers to the south lies Plage des Gollandières, which shares the same sandy substrate but is set in a slightly different coastal context. The site remains minimally developed, with no visible tourist infrastructure, preserving its natural and unbuilt aspect. Access to this beach is via small local roads from the hinterland. No swimming supervision is provided, and facilities (parking, restrooms, showers) are not among the documented amenities. The beach does not have Blue Flag status. Accessibility for people with reduced mobility is not guaranteed. Visitors should come equipped with their own belongings and anticipate tidal conditions, particularly pronounced in this estuary.
About this spot
The name "Anneries" likely evokes the former activity of eel fishing ("anguilles" in regional dialect), which was once abundant in the Charente estuaries. This coast, shaped by the alluvial deposits of the Charente and Seudre rivers, has long been the domain of fishermen and oyster farmers. In the 19th century, before the industrialization of beach tourism, these beaches primarily served as landing points for marine extractive activities. Even today, the area retains this discreet fishing vocation, far from the developed beach resorts of the neighboring Vendée coast.
