Plage du Valais

Plage du Valais is a triangular stretch of sand in Saint-Brieuc, sheltered by two breakwaters that create a protected swimming zone. The beach provides changing facilities, showers, a swimming basin, volleyball courts, and areas designated for water sports.

This spot developed when paid vacations came to France and people started building small huts along the coast with permission from local landowners. The Cité Baby stands as a remnant of this early seaside leisure period.

Traditional seaside cabins called Cité Baby stand behind the sand, protected by a local group to preserve the area's coastal heritage and way of life from earlier times.

The beach is easy to access and well equipped for families and water activities. Plan your visit around the tide, as some areas become less accessible at low tide, offering different experiences depending on when you arrive.

At low tide, a hidden area called Trou aux Cochons becomes accessible, a secluded spot visible only when water levels drop. This isolated space gives visitors a different experience from the busier main shore.
