The Plage de l’Éventail in Saint-Malo is a stunning sandy beach located at the beginning of the Grande Plage du Sillon, right in front of the Fort National. Sheltered by the city’s ramparts, it offers a picturesque setting with breathtaking views of the fortifications and the open sea.

This beach is a favorite among visitors for its family-friendly atmosphere and safe swimming conditions, as it is supervised during the summer months. At low tide, you can walk across the sand to explore the Fort National, which was built in 1689 as part of Saint-Malo’s coastal defenses.

The Plage de l’Éventail is easily accessible from the ramparts via the Porte Saint-Thomas or from the Chaussée du Sillon. Its proximity to the historic walled city makes it a perfect spot to relax after exploring Saint-Malo’s rich heritage. Whether you’re looking to swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the coastal scenery, this beach is a fantastic destination.
