Grands Sables Beach in Locmaria - France

Our opinion on the Grands Sables Beach

Grands Sables Beach in Locmaria is the biggest beach in Belle Ile en Mer: 1,7 km long and even 2 km if one adds Samzun Beach, as an extension at low tide. This is one of the few beaches with no rocks, covered in clear sand, rather red at the entrance on the left (at the sailing school) because of the garnet powder. For swimmers, the monitored part is to the right, towards the aid station. Doors show, like everywhere around the island, that the beaches were possible invasion places since the rest is protected by cliffs, and therefore protected by walls which remains are still visible. The fort of La Ferriere monitoring the beach is another trace that the bastion that was the island has now become a place of relaxation. A place protected from the west winds. This is probably the beach that had the most favourable votes from families and the words that are mostly repeated in their comments are "fine" and "good life". This does not appear usurped.

NB: Two "Tiralo" armchairs are available from the lifeguards in July and August.
