Presentation

Come and relax on this beautiful sandy beach and discover how it got its name !
This famous beach is ideally located just a few metres from the shops, restaurants and famous carousel and baroque acrobatics of the small seaside resort of Tharon-Plage. So you can take full advantage of all the resort has to offer when you return from your swim !

Take a stroll along the ocean or lie back on your towel and enjoy the breathtaking view of a string of fisheries, including the famous blue fishery. You can swim in complete safety at high tide, and if you feel like it at low tide, you can improvise a fishing trip on the green rock, renowned for its periwinkles, mussels and oysters...

The little secret :
Plage de la Source also has a precious secret that you can only discover by walking down the beach... We'll tell you a bit more about it though!... The beach owes its name to the presence of a drinking water spring just below the road and the beach access. The quality of the water has been proven beyond doubt (and is regularly analysed), making it a very popular spot in both winter and summer, where people come to fill bottles and jerry cans all year round! So what's on your mind ? Want to get your breath back? Don't wait any longer !
