Swimming at Soulac

Our drive to Soulac sur Mer was enlivened by the afternoon  ferry crossing from Royan.  Mr K loves boats of all sorts and he’s always happy on a ferry.  We pitched our tent on the campsite before heading out for our first look at the Atlantic Ocean.  The beach was stunning with superb views North and South along the coast.  And although it was late afternoon when we arrived, it was still warm enough to swim. Because the tide was just retreating, the sands were people free, creating a feeling of space and tranquillity only ever experienced on deserted beaches
