Plage des Grandes Vallées, Sandy beach in Pornic, France
The beach stretches for 150 meters along the coastline, featuring golden sand and natural rock formations near Sainte-Marie-sur-Mer neighborhood.
During the second half of the 19th century, Constant Blandin, owner of Villa Calypso, developed the beach by building sea bath facilities.
Traditional maritime architecture surrounds the beach, with preserved sea bathing cabins and seaside villas representing French coastal heritage.
The beach provides access to the restaurant Zagaya, where visitors can enjoy meals directly on the sand from spring through autumn.
The beach forms a natural cove protected from winds by cliffs, creating separate sections of golden sand between rock formations.
