Discover Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, a charming seaside resort in Charente-Maritime, nestling between the Atlantic Ocean and a forest of pines and oaks. Just a few kilometres from Royan, this family-friendly destination boasts fine sandy beaches, unspoilt natural landscapes and a typical town centre with authentic charm. An ideal place to combine relaxation, nature and discovery during your holidays at Camping Le Dauphin.
Between sea and forest, Saint-Georges-de-Didonne offers a unique holiday setting in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, ideal for walks, outdoor activities and contemplation. From the coast to the pine forest, every corner of the resort invites you to relax and get away from it all.
The commune is home to several beaches, including the 3km-long Grande Conche and the more intimate Suzac beach, which is bordered by forest. Whether you're a fan of swimming, lounging or water sports, the beaches of Saint-Georges-de-Didonne have something for everyone.
The Suzac forest is a haven of peace, ideal for walking and cycling. Its shady paths lead to the Pointe de Suzac, where you can enjoy panoramic views over the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean.
Stroll through the streets of the town centre, lined with Charentais houses, small shops and friendly terraces. Don't miss the 12th-century church of Saint-Georges, the former post office (Espace Michelet) or the 17th-century Lussinet dwelling. These witnesses to the past reflect the commune's rich and peaceful history.
Among the sites to discover:
The resort offers a wide range of water and outdoor sports: sand yachting, paddle boarding, jet-skiing, mini-golf, accrobranche at Parc Aventures, or rosalie by the sea. The coastal paths and cycle tracks make for great walks as far as the Etang d'Enlias or the Briqueterie lake.
In summer, enjoy a varied programme of events: concerts, night markets and open-air shows bring the town to life for all to enjoy.
Located on the border between Saint-Georges-de-Didonne and Meschers-sur-Gironde, the Domaine de Suzac is a remarkable natural area, combining dunes, cliffs and pine forest. It's the perfect place to observe the local flora and fauna, just a stone's throw from Camping Le Dauphin.
The Vallières lighthouse, the town's landmark, has dominated the coast since 1902.
Climb to the top for an exceptional view of Royan, the Gironde estuary and the surrounding beaches, a sight not to be missed at sunset.
