Beaches: Within 10 15 minutes drive of Médis you will find some of the best sandy beaches in Europe. The 3 star Michelin rated 2km long fine sandy beach at Royan stretches north to south from the marina to the cliffs of Vallieres at Saint-Georges-de-Didonne. Here you can hire the wonderful old-fashioned blue and white tents to protect you from the hot summer sun from where you can watch the kids learn to windsurf, body board or sail at the water sports centre. The beach continues between the two cliffs at Saint-Georges-De-Didonne,. From the path around the lighthouse on the cliff there are beautiful views of the Pointe de Grave, the Pointe de Suzac and the lighthouse at Cordouan. At the Pointe de Suzac, there is a path, which goes along the cliff, and this makes a very pleasant walk to Meschers. At Merchers and Les Plages des Vergnes you will find sandier coves with caves and rock pools. The beaches of the Cote Sauvage (north of Royan) have the best waves and fabulous sand dunes.
