More on the beaches of Saint Malo !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Europe, France

I like to update this older post and leave some pictures of the marvelous beaches of Saint Malo. We love to come and its shows in my many posts on the city, see posts! As said this is an additional post on more on the beaches of Saint Malo !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

There are very good beaches here, we have our favorites over the times coming here. The plage de Bon Secours,right in the middle area from intra muros and a wonderful pool with diving deck right in the ocean! The plage du Mole is a bit secluded under the remparts and our favorite for its sandy white sand and tranquil waves. And the plage de l’Eventail is nice just below the chateau with a large cafe on beachside. Grand plage or plage du Sillon , 3 km long, extends from the city within the city to the tip of Rochebonne.

Saint Malo

There are 10 secure beaches at St Malo including those above, these are:

The plage de Bon Secours beach is accessible by the ramparts and the fortified town. 3 km long, it is the largest sandy beach in Saint-Malo. Along this beach, you can reach Intra-Muros in Paramé. Plage du Sillon includes the Grande plage, Hoguette beach and Rochebonne beach.

Located in the Paramé district, between Hoguette beach and Pont beach, Rochebonne beach is as much appreciated by families as passing visitors

Minihic Beach stretches west of Pointe de Rochebonne, between Paramé and Rothéneuf. Its location below a small cliff, offers the beach a slightly wilder and more green setting.

Sheltered by the ramparts, this sandy beach is located opposite the Fort National and at the very beginning of the Sillon, the Grande Plage de Saint-Malo. It is accessible from the ramparts by the Porte Saint-Thomas or by the Sillon. Fort National, built in 1689, is accessible at low tide. Further offshore, on the right, you will see the Fort de la Conchée, both built on the plans of Vauban, chief architect of King Louis XIV.

Located at the entrance to the Rothéneuf district, in continuation of the Minihic beach, Pont beach offers a pleasant setting with easy access. This fine sandy beach opens onto the bay of Saint-Malo with the silhouette of the corsair city and Cap Fréhel as a background. By taking the coastal path at the end of the beach, you can reach Pointe de la Varde in just a few minutes.

Near the Bas Sablons marina, the Bas Sablons beach offers a beautiful panorama of the Cité Corsaire. The dike was built to protect the marina and offers a superb view of the Cité Corsaire.

Located in the continuity of the large Sillon beach, the Hoguette beach is located in front of the Thalassotherapy center of Saint-Malo. at its end you will find the nautical base and the sand yachting and surf school.

Val Beach is located at the foot of the residential district of Rothéneuf. This beautiful stretch of fine sand offers a pleasant plant environment appreciated by families.

The plage de Môle is protected from the winds by the pier which shelters the port, and oriented to the west, it is a very pleasant sandy beach for swimming, and therefore very popular in summer. The dike, called Môle des Noires, is a jetty 500 meters long.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
