Plage de Saint Pair Sur Mer is a picturesque beach situated in the charming town of Saint-Pair-sur-Mer, nestled in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. The beach is known for its breathtaking views of Cancale, the pointe du Grouin, Chausey, and the Anglo-Norman Islands. With a length of 4 kilometers, this sandy beach provides ample space for visitors to enjoy a variety of activities such as fishing, beach volleyball, and beach tennis.
The beach is equipped with various amenities for visitors' comfort and enjoyment. It features a promenade, known as Digue de Saint-Pair-sur-Mer, which offers educational information about the history of Saint-Pair-sur-Mer and the surrounding lands, as well as about wind forces and their effects at sea and on land. This promenade is both entertaining and informative for both children and adults. The beachfront is adorned with quaint villas and residences, adding to its charm. There are also traditional beach cabins that are popular among locals and tourists.
One of the unique features of Plage de Saint Pair Sur Mer is its seawater reservoir, which is divided into two sections to cater to the needs of different swimmers. The shallow section is ideal for young swimmers, while the deeper section is perfect for those who wish to swim laps. The reservoir provides a safe and enjoyable swimming experience, especially for those who find the sea too distant or too cold.
The beach is supervised by lifeguards from June 15th to September 15th during the opening hours of the lifeguard station. Outside of these hours, swimming in the reservoir is at the swimmer's own risk. Despite being a popular destination, the beach still maintains a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, providing a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
