You no longer have to take the car or a shuttle to get from your mobile home to the beach. With a campsite by the coast, you’ll be on the warm sand admiring the blue sea or ocean, in two blinks of an eye. With direct access to the beach, there’s no need to spend time loading up the car or searching for a parking space. Picnic basket in one hand, beach bag in the other and a towel slung over your shoulder, head to the beautiful beaches of France and Europe during your stay in one of the best campsites with direct beach access thanks to Sandaya!
What is a campsite with direct beach access?
Is there anything better than breathing the sea air on holiday? Even more amazing when you have direct access to the beach from your campsite!
In a campsite by the sea or just a hop and a skip from the beaches, you can leave the car parked at your 4 or 5 star campsite and dive into the water a few minutes later. On the doorstep of your campsite rental, hear the waves of the Mediterranean Sea or the Atlantic Ocean calling you and your loved ones to come for an invigorating day building sandcastles with the kids, trying out new watersports or just simply topping up your tan on your beach towel. Let the seaside holiday begin!
Brittany and the Channel: seaside campsites between coves, cliffs and salty sea air
A select location by the sea, direct access to the beach and seafood tastings — everything you need for a perfect family holiday.
The starting point for this picture of happiness is in Brittany and Normandy. In a 5 star campsite such as Le Ranolien in Perros-Guirec, Escale Saint-Gilles in Bénodet or L’Anse du Brick in Maupertus-sur-Mer, you’ll marvel at the hidden coves and dramatic cliffs around you.
Without even getting your feet wet, it’s just one short step to a fine sand beach in one of the 4 star campsites in Brittany or facing the Channel. In Port Manec’h campsite in Névez or Belle Plage in Ploemeur, create new family memories by the ocean. In Pléneuf-Val-André in the top-of-the-range campsite Val André, not only will you be a stone’s throw from the beach, but also at around 50 km from Saint-Malo and 65 km from Cancale.

Opposite the island of Noirmoutier, the 4 star campsite La Grand Côte in La Barre-de-Monts draws in the holidaymakers thanks to its access to Fromentine beach.

Far from the excitement of the towns, let yourself be lulled by the Atlantic’s waves in the Landes.

Still in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and more specifically in the Gironde, golden beaches are waiting impatiently to give you a campsite experience with direct beach access that you’ll never forget. And this time, it’s at the Soulac Plage campsite where you can drop your bags off before heading to the beach!

Beach or swimming pool? Campsites that let you have it all
Why choose when you can have both? Beach or swimming pool, on a Sandaya campsite with direct access to the beach, the question doesn’t need to be asked!
In the morning, take part in a diving competition in the heated pool, followed by a watersports activity on the beach in the afternoon. The next day, laze on one of the sun loungers around the pool while keeping an eye on your children in the water park. There’s even a fun paddling pool for your little ones to take their first steps in the water. Is rain forecast during your seaside holiday? Thankfully, some Sandaya campsites have covered pools for holidaymakers to swim whatever the weather!
Isn’t life good on a campsite with direct access to the beach?
What accommodation to choose at a beachside campsite?
It all depends on the type of camping stay you’re looking for. In a seaside campsite, several options are on offer with different levels of comfort, all while respecting the prestige promised to holidaymakers.
In a fully equipped mobile home, you’ll find everything you need in your cottage: a living room with a sofa, table and chairs, an equipped kitchen and garden furniture. In the premium and pedestrianised area of the campsite, children can play safely in the wide-open outdoor spaces. Good to know: cottages adapted to people with reduced mobility are available so that everyone can have the holiday of their dreams!
Families or couples looking for new and original experiences could opt for the quirky accommodation on offer: furnished tents, floating huts, tree-houses, gypsy caravans, etc.
You prefer feeling closer to nature when camping? In that case, one of our tent pitches or camper-van pitches should suit you. In addition, these pitches are hooked up to water and electricity for your comfort.
In a 4 star campsite, just like a 5 star campsite with direct beach access, the accommodation is designed for the holidaymakers looking for peace and quiet as well as an adventure!
How to choose the best campsite with direct beach access?
It’s already a bonus to have direct access to the beach from your accommodation, but what would you say to ticking off more criteria to make your stay even more amazing? To choose the best campsite with direct access to the beach, here’s what you need to know about the different destinations:
