45 miles separate the rocky peak of the Pointe du Groin from Cap Fréhel which constitutes what is called the Côte d'Emeraude (Emerald Coast). The coast is a mix of landscapes which are all as sumptuous as each other. From the Pointe du Groin, a rocky, frayed and wild headland which overhangs the sea from its height of 160 ft, to Saint-Malo, where a succession of cliffs are revealed whose façades are tinted yellow by the sun and whose feet are dipped in turquoise-coloured water. In numerous places, the cliffs separate to reveal beaches and coves with stunning panoramas. Verger Bay is probably the most beautiful one on the coast. Real havens of peace, the creeks offer you a place to relax in a paradisiacal environment. The creeks of Port-Pican, Port-Mer and Port-Briac are some of the must-sees.
