Saint-Malo's main spot, regularly ranked among France's finest beaches. The 3 km beach accommodates many riders without line crossings. Freeride or waves depending on the tide — waves mainly off Rochebonne (from the surf school onward), or chop elsewhere. Usual launch near the surf school / marine spa.
