Saint-Brevin-les-Pins boasts 8km of fine sandy beach, offering a wide range of water and board sports including sand yachting, windsurfing, paddle boarding, surfing and a renowned kite-surfing spot, as well as swimming and fishing.
Close your eyes and imagine wooded dunes, forests of maritime pines and holm oaks standing on the water’s edge, squirrels in the trees, and the spray of the ocean. The banks of the Loire are dotted with fisheries, and you can see swarms of birds. And in winter, the smell of mimosa perfumes the streets dotted with our pretty Brévinois villas.
Its unspoilt coastal paths are popular with walkers, cyclists and horse-riders.
The main attraction of the commune is undoubtedly the Forêt de la Pierre Attelée; the only dune forest in the Loire-Atlantique region, you’ll love wandering along its paths and breathing in the scent of the pine trees, or visiting its menhir (one of 8 megaliths in the commune).
Saint-Brevin has a long and rich history, with legends, Vikings, sailors, Bougainville and the Pines, the trees that saved it from the sands and gave it its present-day appearance.
