Plage de la Gallice
You'll hear the clink of halyards from Port Gallice before your toes touch sand—this 150-meter crescent sits so close to the marina that sailors drop anchor and wade ashore for rosé. The amber-hued beach shelves gently, making it a magnet for toddlers clutching inflatable dolphins while their parents scan Le Figaro under rented awnings.
