Fishing
The main types of fishing are beach casting and deep sea fishing as
well as "Peche a Main", the collecting of shell fish from the rocks and
sands at low tide.
Beach casting is usually reserved for night time, rough weather or
out of season. Most fishermen prefer the more isolated beaches both
north and south of la Tranche-sur-Mer
Deep sea fishing is well catered for and a list of boats that make
fishing trips is listed under Boat Charters in the Vendée.

This 18 hole Yves Bureau designed course is styled on a traditional
Scottish links course and most reviews rate this as the best course in
western France. The front 9 holes wind through a natural pine forest while
the back 9 are close to the beach with great views of the ocean and the Ile
d'Yeu, and there are a lot of water hazards. The undulating fairways are
an excellent test for technical golfers.
There is a Practice green. Green fees for winter 2009 are from €22.
