About Plage des Fossettes
An underwater trail starts from the beach, marked out with buoys and done with fins. Above it, the Pointe Saint-Hospice walk runs for under 2 km under maritime pines, with six observation stations and the Saint-Hospice chapel, listed as a historic monument since 1929, with its bronze Madonna about ten metres high. Near the chapel is the marine cemetery, created in 1905.
