Grands Sables, Sand beach in Groix Island, France.
Les Grands Sables stretches along the coast with fine white sand meeting clear turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean on Groix Island.
The beach fortifications, constructed during past military operations, remain visible through two entrances at La Ferrière section of the coastline.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices along the beach, collecting shellfish and maintaining small boats in the protected waters.
The beach offers supervised swimming areas during July and August, with equipment rentals for water activities available near the shore.
This rare convex beach formation in Europe shifts its boundaries significantly, moving up to 160 meters within two years.
