Les Sables Jaunes ou d'Or
Drop anchor off Plage des Sables Jaunes, one of Fouras's quieter stretches of golden sand that lives up to its name. It draws a fraction of the crowds of nearby beaches, making it a genuinely relaxed spot to swim ashore and soak up some sun. You're also well-placed here to take in views toward the legendary Fort Boyard, sitting squat in the water just offshore.
