La Lieue de Grève

The Lieue de Grève is a vast foreshore 4 km long and over 1 km wide. It is one of the largest bays in Côtes-d'Armor and Brittany. At low tide, the sea can recede by up to 1.3 km.
The bay is enclosed to the east by the cliffs of St Michel, which cover 12 ha of sensitive natural areas, and to the west by the Pointe de l'Armorique, another sensitive natural area in the département. The beach is divided into two coves by the Grand Rocher, which rises to 84m.
