Plage du Sillon, Coastal beach in Saint-Malo, France
The beach extends along 3 kilometers of coastline with fine golden sand facing the waters of the English Channel and the Bay of Saint-Malo.
The beach served as a strategic defense point during World War II, with German forces constructing numerous bunkers along its seawall in 1942.
The Saint-Malo Beach Festival takes place annually on Plage du Sillon, featuring sand sculpture competitions and traditional Breton music performances.
The beach provides dedicated zones for water sports, swimming areas monitored by lifeguards, and multiple access points from the coastal promenade.
The beach experiences some of Europe's largest tidal ranges, with water levels varying up to 14 meters between low and high tide.
