All that remains visible of this late-medieval church is its whitewashed tower, standing alone in the dunes after drifting sand engulfed the nave in the 18th century. A short walk through pine plantation leads to it, and you can climb the tower in season for a view over the sand that once swallowed the parish.
Getting there from the port
A 10-minute bike ride or taxi, then a short walk through the plantation to the tower
