Le Bombarde Beach is a small bay between the rocks. Less than 1 km long, the beach is a few dozen metres wide. It slopes towards the water, which deepens just a few metres from shore. The water is almost always calm, crystal-clear, and always quite cold. There is a sandy bottom with numerous rocks emerging, especially at the two ends. The sand is fine and very white.
