This beach is small and cozy, and there are swimming pools to the left. It's a great spot to let your dog run free during this season. The park is conveniently located just behind the beach. The scenery is beautiful and well-maintained with plenty of flowers.

Plage des Bas Sablons

This beach stands out from others in the area due to its fewer crowds, giving it a more authentic feel. It's only a 20-minute walk from the center of Saint Malo, making it easily accessible. I was amazed to see people swimming in the ocean even in October, and it's no wonder they slather on the beurre (butter) to keep warm.

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 19.4°C and the water temperature up to 19.4°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 9.3°C and the water temperature down to 9.2°C.
