La Plage du Veillon





We went for a short drive up the coast to La Plage du Veillon which is a big dune/sand spit at the estuary of a small river (could be the Payré, but I'm not so sure). On one side it is almost like a lake whilst on the other there's the ocean.
.
At the tip of the sand-spit you look over the narrow strait to the low-lying cliffs of St Nicolas, and the battle of the currents, river vs sea.
.
Although a lovely day we needed a few layers to keep the chill wind out. I won't apologise for yet two more sea & sky-scapes: the ever-changing Vendée panorama.

Superbes photos comme toujours d'une de mes plages préférées, si ce n'est LA préférées.
Salut Nadine, je ne savais pas que tu étais à La Tranche....
