Plage des Grands Sables, Sandy beach at Groix Island in Brittany, France
The Plage des Grands Sables extends for 1.66 kilometers along the northern coast of Groix Island, featuring light-colored sand and gentle slopes.
The beach has remained a significant maritime location in Brittany since the early development of Groix Island as a destination for mainland French visitors.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices near the beach, contributing to the preservation of maritime customs in the Morbihan department.
Visitors can access the beach through marked pathways, with parking facilities available nearby and lifeguard services operating during summer months.
The beach presents an unusual geographical formation for the region, with its north-facing position providing protection from dominant southern winds.
