Plage de la Garde

Plage de la Garde is a serene beach located in the charming town of Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, in the region of Bretagne, France. This beach is noted for its serene atmosphere, making it a popular choice for those seeking a tranquil retreat. Its location near Pointe de la Garde and the Dinard golf course adds to its picturesque charm, with green surroundings enhancing the natural beauty of the area. This beach is recognized for its fine sandy shores and the absence of seaweed, offering a pleasant setting for barefoot strolls. The beach's clean and well-maintained appearance is partly due to the restriction on dogs, ensuring its pristine condition is preserved. Despite its popularity, the beach is not typically crowded, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the tranquility of the natural surroundings. The beach is a favorite spot for surfers due to its consistent waves and absence of strong currents. It also houses a surf school and a nautical center, further promoting its appeal to water sports enthusiasts. However, the beach is not solely for surfers; it is also a splendid spot for relaxing, swimming, and sunbathing. Access to the beach is possible through a trail that starts from the city center and passes through a beautiful golf course. This path, however, may not be suitable for those with strollers due to its terrain. Alternatively, the beach can be reached by following a coastal trail from Port-Hue beach or a path from Longchamp beach, both offering a scenic journey. Parking facilities are available in the city center, from which the beach is within walking distance. Additionally, the beach can be accessed from the nearby town of St. Lunaire, providing another scenic route for those wishing to visit.
