Oyster and mussel at the beach

Cap Breton beach

When tourists are mostly gone, the sun is still shining and wind is cool, it is good to spend an afternoon at the beach, near Cap Breton and Hossegor at the Atlantic coast.

Nothing beat the atmosphere of eating in front of the tidal lake where oysters are raised, in a basic shack run by oyster farmers.

Won't say the oysters are top in flavor, so have move to a restaurant to satisfy the taste buds with a steaming pot of mussels from Mont St Michel area and lightly battered smelt, both from the north coast.
