Plage de l'Éventail, Coastal beach by medieval walls in Saint-Malo, France.
The white sand beach stretches along the city fortifications, providing direct views of Fort National and the Brittany coastline through all seasons.
The beach location between Fort National and Fort de la Conchée represents the maritime defense strategy implemented by architect Vauban for King Louis XIV.
The beach connects to multiple coastal paths, enabling visitors to explore the maritime heritage of Saint-Malo through its fortified structures.
Supervised swimming areas, showers, toilets, and a restaurant service operate during summer months, with disability access facilities available throughout the year.
During low tide, visitors can walk across the exposed sand to reach Fort National, creating a temporary pathway between the beach and the island.
