Jade Coast, Loire-Atlantique
The Jade Coast (Cote de Jade) is in the Loire-Atlantique department, south of the Loire estuary and north of Bourgneuf Bay (just west of Nantes).
This section of coast can also be reached from St Nazaire to the north, from where it is separated by the longest bridge in France (3.3km).
Very popular due to its sandy beaches interspersed with rocky sections, there are several extremely busy seaside resorts along this section of the coast. The largest towns / resorts are Saint-Brévin-les-Pins and Pornic.
This section of coast attracts many French holidaymakers, and a great deal of the coast has been over-developed - it is often not easy to escape the hotels and apartment blocks.
Pornic is perhaps the town most worthy of exploring, with a castle and an attractive harbour.
The photo below is Pointe Saint-Gildas, the main headland along this section of coast.
