Fishing trips to
Saint Gilles Croix de Vie

Shore fishing possible

  • At Grande Page in Saint Gilles Croix de Vie: fishing for pine nuts in the sand.

  • At Brétignolles sur Mer / Marais Girard and Sauzaie beaches: fishing for periwinkles, oysters, mussels, shrimp among the rocks.

  • In Saint Hilaire de Riez / from Bussoleries beach to Sion beach: fishing for periwinkles, oysters, mussels, shrimp among the rocks.

On the beach of La Sauzaie , well known for having been a shrimp fishing village. When the sea recedes, it reveals a vast foreshore (an area of land that is covered at high tide and exposed at low tide).

On the sandy foreshore, burrowing shellfish abound. Clams, cockles, and razor clams can be found by spotting the two small air holes on the surface of the sand. On the rocky foreshore, the harvest will mainly consist of mussels, periwinkles, and crabs.

While shore fishing can be a relaxing and enjoyable activity, it's important not to neglect the rules and to be properly equipped. As an amateur, you should set out with a small bucket and a landing net. Be careful not to mix small fish, shrimp, and prawns with crabs!

As a skilled fisherman, you'll also want to equip yourself with the right tools (clam knife, oyster shovel, and rake) to dislodge the bivalves from the rocks. Recreational fishing is a fun activity, but it also requires a bit of common sense. A few simple rules help to respect the resource and ensure that the pleasure of fishing remains accessible to everyone for years to come!

So fish smart: put back the pebbles you turn over to find crabs and shrimp.
