Highlight • Beach

This beautiful beach near the city center has been very recently redeveloped with works and is - from my point of view - much nicer than before.

Ker Villès Beach

Highlight • Beach

A charming little beach, but one that seems more suited to sunbathing than swimming. Note the presence of an ancient fort, the Fort de Villès, overlooking the beach.

Porcé Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Magnificent beach, surrounded by tall trees, but it is worth it because the road leading there is very steep.

Saint-Nazaire Seafront Promenade

Highlight • Trail

Nestled against the Atlantic Ocean, this promenade constitutes a pleasant border between land and sea. On one side, the port city and its dynamism; on the other, beautiful sandy beaches mixed with the tides.
