From the structures put in place, to cleanliness (daily cleaning) and the quality of bathing water (regular samples), Royan beaches are the subject of great attention from the municipal technical services and the Urban Community.
Because of its urban environment and its reasonable size, it is quite easy to find one's way by taking the aid station or a building as a landmark.

Similarly, in season, they install information cabins on either side of the beach, tents (canvas beach cabins) to allow tourists to benefit from a little shade, totems to facilitate location in space, deckchairs/sun loungers, an adapted path (rigid plastic tiles that clip together).
