Description and location of the Biological Station Cove in Roscoff (29680)
Our opinion on the Biological Station Cove
Small in size but big in the shelter she offers, this cove of the biological station of Roscoff is ideally protected from westerly, southerly and northern winds, at least on its dry portion at high tide. The dyke that surrounds it even restores pleasantly the sun accumulated during the day. Located between the CNRS biological station and the former marine aquarium (also become a dependency of the CNRS), the beach is at the end of the old town and so close to all amentities. At high tide, elle est prisée des connaisseurs.

Photos of the Biological Station Cove
Pleasantly protected from the prevailing winds, this small beach of downtown is popular at high tide. Although located in the city center, the rocks that emerge everywhere give it a little wild side.
At low tide, the space gets bigger but its charm drops. On the other side of the channel, the island of Batz which can be accessed from the nearby port.
On the right, the old marine aquarium, now a scientific institute, and its seawater pond. A wedge allows the descent of the boats. Off the pier, bridge that allows ferries to dock at low tide.
The beaches of the island of Batz, opposite, seem close at low tide. And wilder.
The former aquarium, now owned by the CNRS.
The old town on the beach is very pleasant to visit for the tourist, and to live for the natives.
