Mont Choisy Public Beach

What sets it apart

Mont Choisy is one of the four major public beaches whose leisure amenities are being gradually upgraded, along with Flic en Flac, Belle Mare and La Prairie. Its upgrade has brought a car park for some fifty cars with spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility, open showers, outdoor gym equipment, lighting, picnic tables, bins, and more than five hundred plants replanted. It is also one of the four public beaches, with Flic en Flac, Belle Mare and Saint-Félix, where sea access for people with reduced mobility is being prepared.

The mood

The beach is well equipped, and looked after on busy days. On public holidays a duty ambulance attached to SSRN Hospital stands near the new toilet block and also covers Trou aux Biches, Pointe aux Piments and Le Goulet.
