Les Grands Sables
Drop anchor off Les Grands Sables, a sweeping near-2km stretch of white sand on Belle-Île's sheltered eastern flank, roughly halfway between Le Palais and Locmaria. It looks almost tropical — pale sand, vivid blue sky, and a deep Atlantic sea — and it's widely considered the most stunning beach on the island. You'll want to dinghy ashore and spend some time here.
