Plage de Bon-Secours

The Plage de Bon-Secours is a picturesque beach situated within the city limits of Saint-Malo. One of its most prominent features is its pristine waters, which offer excellent conditions for swimming. Enhancing the swimming experience is a distinctive seawater pool, constructed in 1937 by Rene Lesaunier, which allows for swimming irrespective of the tide levels. The beach's natural characteristics are further defined by its dramatic tides. These can retreat several meters, thus producing a fascinating natural display. Despite its position on the Atlantic, the beach may not be the warmest, but it continues to attract many visitors. During periods of low tide, the emergence of rock pools provides an additional point of interest for visitors. For safety measures, lifeguards are stationed at the beach until 7 pm. Being a popular destination, Plage de Bon-Secours can experience high footfall, particularly on favored days. Parking facilities are provided, although finding a spot can sometimes be challenging due to the beach's popularity. Regardless of its high visitation, the beach is well-kept and clean. Plage de Bon-Secours offers breathtaking vistas of the Bon Secours bay, particularly from the ramparts of the neighboring walled city. Even when sea mist rolls in, the views from the beach remain stunning. Its easy accessibility from the city makes it a highly recommended attraction for anyone visiting Saint-Malo.
