On the way back from shopping I took a detour to explore the estuary-side.
There are sandy beaches at Meschers, a little south of St Georges, though in an area of low cliffs and not as easy to get to as those at St Georges (my favourite beach). Their advantage is the cliffs, which are honey-coloured and holed with seacaves. Beautiful. Disappointingly, I'd not taken a camera.
From there towards St Dizant is a chain of small fishing ports which have been made a little touristy (mostly with tiny marinas and a few restaurants and gites). At the moment the hordes have not descended, but it may get rather crowded in July and August. Apparently there are lots of events of various kinds in the summer. At Talmont there is a superb old carousel which looks like it's in working order, and will be on the list for visitors.
