La Baie de Cayola & a walk at dusk

The best thing about medical appointments in Les Sables d'Olonne is that later you can visit places you haven't seen in a while. This is how we found ourselves at La Baie de Cayola, between Les Sables and Port Bourgenay.

Cayola is a pebble beach, similar to but much smaller than Chesil Beach in Dorset. 
The road was destroyed in Storm Xynthia in 2010 but has since been rebuilt with an excellent footpath alongside
Gigantic Tine...
...but where's Makka Pakka?
Apparently these are the remaining struts of an ancient jetty
16:19 and the sun's getting ready for bed
An hour later and back in La Tranche I went for a walk to le Plage des GĂ©nerelles to make up my steps
The light was amazing!
Now for the real sunset...

...and fascinating clouds on my walk back home.
