This popular family beach offers a long stretch of soft golden sand, beautiful clear sea, rocks to climb and rockpools to explore. Access is easy with a slipway and steps dotted along the beach.

The beach offers panoramic views of Rocquaine, the Hanois Lighthouse and Lihou Island and is a great spot to watch the sunset.

Low Tide

You might think L’Eree would be the perfect beach to visit at low tide because of the vast amount of sand on show, however, it can have a seaweed problem! At low tide the smell from seaweed can be overpowering and if you have squeemish kids who don’t like seaweed underfoot then i’d give L’Eree a miss at low tide.

However, it’s not always covered in seaweed at low tide…

Facilities

There is a kiosk selling hot and cold drinks and ice creams in the parking area to the South of L’Eree beach.  For more formal dining, there is a well rated Indian restaurant (Taste of India) behind the beach and a fish and chip shop that has inside dining, however, it is currently up for sale, hopefully it will be up and running again soon.
