Plage des Sables Blancs, Sandy beach in Concarneau, France.

The Sables Blancs beach extends along 500 meters of coastline, flanked by tall cliffs that provide natural protection against wind and currents.

The development of grand villas overlooking the beach during the 19th century marked the transformation of Concarneau from a fishing town to a seaside destination.

Local fishermen maintain traditional practices by collecting shellfish and crustaceans during low tide, continuing centuries-old Breton coastal traditions.

The beach provides dedicated facilities including showers, mobility access, and summer lifeguard services, with both paid and free parking options nearby.

Despite its name meaning White Sands Beach, the shore contains a mixture of colored sand and small rocks creating varied textures across the beach.
