Plage des Grands Sables, Coastal beach on Groix Island, France
The Grands Sables beach stretches along the northeastern coast of Groix Island, featuring a mix of white and reddish sand formations near the water.
Between 1981 and 2004, natural maritime currents and prevailing winds caused the beach to shift westward by 450 meters, modifying its physical location.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices near the beach, contributing to the supply of fresh seafood served in nearby restaurants.
Visitors can access the beach via a marked coastal path from Port-Tudy, with bicycle rentals available for transportation across the island.
The convex shape of Grands Sables beach makes it one of the few beaches in Europe that curves outward toward the sea rather than inward.
