Bréville-sur-Mer Beach
Bréville-sur-Mer, the beach
closest to the campground
Located just 4 km from the campground, the beach at Bréville-sur-Mer offers easy access to the sea. With its dunes, beautiful views of the open sea, and ever-changing light, it offers a setting that’s both wild and soothing—ideal for taking a deep breath, going for a walk, or simply sitting back and gazing at the horizon. With a focus on water sports, there’s a small sailing school there. It’s also the go-to spot for wing foiling among the locals, who are happy to welcome summer visitors who love board sports.
Coudeville-sur-Mer Beach

family-friendly and welcoming
Two kilometers further north lies the beach at Coudeville-sur-Mer. People love coming here to spend time together, go fishing, let the kids play, and linger as the sun sets. Its beach hut adds a delightful summery touch, almost like an invitation to slow down a little more after a swim or a walk.
It’s also Stéphane and his family’s favorite spot for kitesurfing.
Saint-Martin de Bréhal Beach
Saint-Martin de Bréhal
and the beaches at the end of the world
Saint-Martin de Bréhal perfectly rounds out this selection with its charm as a simple, friendly family beach resort. Visitors love its unpretentious little restaurants, its relaxed atmosphere, and its lively Sunday market. It’s the kind of place where you can spend an entire day without a complicated itinerary, alternating between the market, the beach, enjoying an ice cream or a waffle on the boardwalk, lunch, and a stroll.
If you continue a little further north, you’ll find Les Salines and the end of the world.
Jullouville Beach and Saint-Pair-sur-Mer
Jullouville and Saint-Pair-sur-Mer: the classic family destinations
Further south of Granville, the beach at Saint-Pair-sur-Mer is lined by a pleasant pedestrian promenade, located near the casino and the tourist office, and features a lifeguard station as well as a swimming area that becomes accessible at low tide.
This unique feature gives it a very family-friendly, almost reassuring atmosphere, especially when the sea recedes far out and the pool still allows you to enjoy the water.
With its boardwalk, summer beach huts, and views of the Carolles cliffs, Saint-Pair-sur-Mer offers the atmosphere of a cozy seaside resort—easy to love and easy to incorporate into a vacation itinerary. Jullouville stands out as one of the leading family-friendly seaside resorts in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, renowned for its long, fine-sand beach, its mild climate, and its Blue Flag certification.

The beach has a lifeguard station in July and August, a pedestrian promenade, changing rooms, nearby amenities, outdoor play areas, and restaurants.
Continuing southward, Kairon Beach—located south of the mouth of the Thar River and south of downtown Saint-Pair-sur-Mer—charms visitors with its more open feel. It is one of the resort’s two lifeguard-patrolled beaches and stands out for its beautiful, unbroken coastline: to the south, it connects to the Pont Bleu in Jullouville, accessible on foot via the boardwalk or directly across the sand, while to the north it extends along a boardwalk-dike for several hundred meters.
Its authenticity stems from its pivotal location between several coastal landscapes—including the Thar, the boardwalk, the unobstructed views, and the sense of a gentle transition between the seaside resort and a more natural beach.
