Plage du Mole

Plage du Mole is a scenic beach located in the vicinity of Saint-Malo, a historic city in France. The beach, which is named after the breakwater that guards the entrance to Saint-Malo's primary harbor, holds the distinction of being the southernmost beach in the city. It is characterized by its sandy landscape, punctuated by rock outcrops, and is nestled between a rocky outcrop and the walls of the Bastion de la Hollande, effectively separating it from Plage de Bon Secours. The beach's backdrop is a striking tableau of the old city buildings and the historic town walls. Despite its location in an area that suffered heavy bombing during the Second World War, the beach has been well-maintained and offers a serene retreat. Plage du Mole is known not just for its natural beauty but also for its safety and cleanliness, making it a favored destination for families. The beach's appeal is further enhanced by its amenities, which include a beach bar. During the summer months, a lifeguard service is also provided, ensuring the safety of visitors. The beach's proximity to the walled town of Saint-Malo adds another dimension to the visitor experience. Steps leading up from the beach provide access to this historic town. A walk around the top of the town walls offers panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the bay towards Dinard, located less than a kilometer away. Due to its many attractions, Plage du Mole can get quite crowded, especially in the summer. Despite this, the beach manages to retain its charm and offers a memorable visit to those seeking a blend of natural beauty, safety, and historical significance.
