Grande Grève Beach, Îles Chausey

Grande Grève is the largest beach on the Chausey archipelago, featuring white sand and the famous Elephant rock formation—a granite sculpture shaped by wind and sea. Located on the northern coast of Grande Île, the beach transforms dramatically with tides that can reach up to 14 meters, one of Europe's highest. At low tide, vast tidal flats extend toward 365 islets; at high tide, only 52 remain visible.
