Beaches and bays near Mont-Saint-Michel

Explore Granville, Jullouville and Carolles, choosing beaches according to weather and tides. Lifeguard services vary by beach and season: check local notices before swimming. The Mont’s bay is not an ordinary beach; tides and quicksand require a qualified guide for crossings.
