Plage de la Fourberie is a picturesque beach located in the resort town of Saint-Lunaire, Ille-et-Vilaine, Bretagne, France. This beach is known for its stunning turquoise waters, expansive sandy shore, and large rocks that dot the landscape, particularly visible at mid-high or mid-low tide. The beach is situated in a sheltered area, providing a tranquil and intimate setting away from the usual tourist spots. It is situated to the west of the town, and during low tide, it is possible to walk from one beach to another.
The beach is characterized by its cleanliness and expansive size, with a gentle slope in the swimming area, making it suitable for young children. It is considered a family-friendly beach and is well exposed, ideal for those looking to get a nice tan. The beach is also popular for funboard and kitesurfing activities, with non-motorized water sports allowed in a designated area. However, the use of sailboats, motorized watercraft, and unregistered boats such as windsurfing boards, kayaks, and canoes is prohibited in the supervised swimming area. Kite-surfing is also prohibited during the summer months.
The beach offers a beautiful view of the nearby Cézembre Island and is surrounded by beautiful villines, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the location. A unique feature of the beach is the old 'half-lighthouse', which adds a touch of charisma and authenticity to the location. The cliffs and rocks that surround the beach create a dynamic landscape, appearing to climb at low tide and sink at high tide. Despite its charm and character, Plage de la Fourberie is less crowded compared to larger tourist beaches, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a more peaceful beach experience.
Plage de la Fourberie is well-equipped with amenities, including public toilets, and is regularly monitored by lifeguards during the summer months, providing an extra layer of security for beachgoers. The beach is also equipped for people with reduced mobility, providing "hippocampe" wheelchairs. Dogs and other animals are not allowed on the beaches during the summer months, except for guide animals for the disabled.
Parking is available on Rue Emile Bergerat, but spaces are limited, especially during the summer months. The beach is well-maintained and managed by local associations, and visitors are advised to follow the instructions given by the beach flags, which indicate the swimming conditions.
