Plage de Bonsecours, Sandy beach with seawater pool in Saint-Malo, France.
The beach stretches along the ramparts of Saint-Malo, featuring a seawater swimming pool with a diving board and clear views of the bay.
In 1937, beach manager René Lesaunier constructed the seawater pool to provide swimming opportunities during periods when the sea retreated significantly.
The beach offers direct views of Grand Bé island, the final resting place of French writer Chateaubriand, and Petit Bé with its 17th-century fort.
The beach includes summer lifeguard services, showers, restrooms, a restaurant, and specialized equipment for visitors with reduced mobility.
The seawater swimming pool naturally refills twice daily with the tides, maintaining fresh water circulation throughout the facility.
