Plage de la Fourberie, Sandy beach in Saint-Lunaire, France.
Plage de la Fourberie is a sandy beach in Saint-Lunaire, on the Côte d'Émeraude in Brittany. The strand lies in a cove between granite rocks, with the Île Harbour and its fort visible offshore and the Pointe du Décollé nearby. A white tower, the old Croix de la Fourberie beacon, stands at the edge of the beach.
The beach developed as a resort destination in the mid-1800s when wealthy families from Paris began visiting the area regularly. This period of growth established many of the structures and features that define the town today.
The white tower beside the beach once served as a navigation beacon and remains a landmark that shapes the local identity of Saint-Lunaire. Locals and visitors naturally use it as an orientation point when walking along the coastline.
The beach lies at the end of the coastal path from Saint-Lunaire, reached by a slope and steps down to the sand. At low tide the sandflats open toward the Pointe du Décollé and the rocks below the white tower. Swimming is safest near the lifeguard post in summer; the tide comes in quickly across the flats.
The location catches consistent winds that make it popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers who appreciate the open coastal position. However, these water sports are restricted during peak summer months to protect swimmers.
