Le Croisic: From Marine Discoveries to Seaside Landscapes
Dive in and discover marine life at the Croisic Oceanarium
Located near the harbor, the Océarium du Croisic invites you to explore the wonders of the marine world. For 28 years, this aquarium has been committed to protecting the marine environment through various awareness-raising initiatives, dedicated programs, and support for nonprofit organizations. It’s the perfect place to learn, marvel, and gain a deeper understanding of the richness of the oceans—whether with family or friends.
As you explore, discover more than 4,000 animals spread across 56 aquariums. From tropical seas to coral reefs, and from the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean and the waters of the Pacific, each area reveals a different aquatic world. Colorful fish, sharks, rays, turtles, seahorses, and many other species await you for a truly immersive experience in marine biodiversity.
Don’t miss the underwater tunnel, which offers a fascinating view of the animals swimming all around you. This experience lets you observe certain species from a different perspective and share a special moment with visitors of all ages. Activities and feeding times may also be part of the visit, depending on the Océarium’s schedule.
Beyond the sense of wonder, this outing is also an opportunity to raise children’s awareness about ocean conservation and the fragility of marine ecosystems. It’s an enriching activity to plan during your vacation in Loire-Atlantique, especially if you’re looking to mix things up between beach time, walks, and exploring.

Le Croisic: a charming port and a wild coastline waiting to be explored
After your visit to the Océarium, extend your day of exploration by taking the time to stroll through Le Croisic, a charming seaside town on the Guérande Peninsula. Its harbor, lively docks, and boats offer a lovely glimpse into local life, which is deeply intertwined with the sea and fishing. Take a seat on a terrace, stroll along the quays, or wander through the streets of the town center to soak up the authentic atmosphere of this charming little town.
Lovers of natural landscapes will also appreciate the rugged coastline of Le Croisic. This rugged shoreline offers stunning panoramic views of the ocean, featuring rocks sculpted by the waves, small coves, and cliffs. The coastal trail is perfect for enjoying beautiful walks in the fresh air, accompanied by the sound of the sea spray and the ever-changing landscapes of the Atlantic. Don’t forget your camera: the light and colors of the coast will provide beautiful memories to take home from your getaway.
As you stroll along, you’ll also have the chance to explore the Tréhic Lighthouse and its long granite breakwater, which protects the harbor entrance. It’s another way to appreciate Le Croisic’s maritime heritage and its close connection to the ocean.
From discovering marine life at the Océarium to strolling through the harbor and exploring the rugged coastline, Le Croisic is a great place to visit during your stay at Camping l’Eden in La Baule. Spend a day marveling at the sights, breathing in the sea air, and discovering the many facets of the Loire-Atlantique region.
