the itinerary in detail: day by day
Unforgettable family vacations with your dog
In the heart of the island of Oléron, the Campsite Siblu Sea and Sun of Oléron welcomes you for a vacation with your dog. At the campsite, your dog will be able to follow everywhere! Restaurant, bar, games, pétanque... it has access to everything except the swimming pool, of course.
If you are traveling out of season, be aware that most beaches on the island are dog friendly. In the middle of summer, contact the tourist office to find out exactly which beaches or areas are allowed for dogs. The Oléron Marennes tourist office told us that Ecuissière beach is a beach authorized for dogs all year round on the island of Oléron.
All the activities offered in this itinerary are planned for your children and your dog, but if your children prefer to stay with their friends: the campsite's children's club will be very nice to them!
Bonus: the route is not specially designed for cats but know that the campsite happily accepts them.
