Plage des Sables Menus

Highlight • Beach

One of the few swimmable beaches in Le Croisic, it's perfect for a break. For swimming, consider Port Lin Beach, a little further east.

Jumel Bay

Highlight • Beach

Next to Port Lin beach — a sandy cove, formerly known as "Anse des Bonnes-Femmes" and bordered to the east by the Pointe du Fort — Jumel Bay is part of the rocky south coast of the peninsula, with cliffs with an average height of 5 meters. Located on a granite island which remained separated from that of Batz-sur-Mer and the mainland until the 9th century, Le Croisic is now part of the wild coast of the Guérande peninsula. With the exception of the narrow isthmus which connects it to Batz-sur-Mer to the southeast, the territory of the commune is surrounded by water, alternating between beaches and cliffs exposed to the Atlantic Ocean.

Valentin Beach

Highlight • Beach

Valentin beach is one of the sandy beaches in the area. The ocean can be quite choppy but the horizon always captivates the eye. You may see surfers or fishermen there.

Cove of Bonnes Soeurs Bay

Highlight • Beach

We go there for the scenery, but not for swimming because it's a beach surrounded by rocks. Picnic table.

Saint-Goustan Beach

Highlight • Beach

Large sandy beach. Not my favorite beach on the peninsula, to be honest, but it has the advantage of being within walking distance of the town center and the oceanarium.

Really awesome tour, all the way along the Atlantic coast, with a stopover at the harbour, harbor promenade and shopping center.

After it is supposed to rain inland on the Loire, we simply stay longer on the coast of Le Croisic.
Meanwhile I am completely in love with this town and the coast around it.


It rained last night, the wind got a lot stronger, I had a good headwind when cycling back.
Now at the weekend there are significantly more …
