Piscine d'eau de mer de Saint-Quay-Portrieux, Sea water pool in Saint-Quay-Portrieux, France

This 25-meter outdoor pool carved into coastal rocks fills naturally with ocean water during high tides exceeding 9 meters in height.

The construction of this recreational facility began in 1929 through coastal rock excavation and was completed within four months of initiation.

The pool serves as a central gathering point for local residents who organize summer events and maintain swimming traditions through multiple generations.

Free admission and lifeguard supervision during summer months make this pool an accessible option for swimmers seeking a safer alternative to ocean swimming.

During particularly high tides, the entire pool structure disappears beneath the water surface, creating a temporary illusion of its absence.
