Day at the Beach.

Last time I went to Pornic, it was the 14th of October, a couple of weeks after I arrived in France. I remember the place being nice, but it was a bit cold for too much beach time.

This time, however, it was much better. The weather was nearing 20°c, and it was sunny all day. One of my French friends has a static caravan by the sea, so a few of us went down in a couple of cars for a day-at-the-beach.

The main area of Pornic is a fishing port, but either side of the port are 21 small beaches, varying in size from 500m long, to a few feet wide. As it's still early April, there's hardly any tourists invading the coast yet.

We arrived at the coat at about midday, and ended up staying there until midnight. Unfortunately, I spent the majority of the time sitting in one direction, which has resulted in only one half of my face being tanned. Not a good look.


Possibly the world's smallest beach. I could actually touch both sides at the same time. We had to paddle to get to this one.

Deliciously warm sand.

I took a photo looking down onto a beach from the cliffs, where there were a few groups of people sunbathing under parasols. I thought it made quite a nice picture, until I zoomed in on the picture, and realised it was a 'plage nudiste'. I'm thought i'd best leave that one off of here...
