At low tide, there is access to a sand deposit delimited by a rocky wall made from slate and schist forming 30 meter arches resembling cathedral flying buttresses, large caves, sand corridors between rocky blocks, and other geological features. Particularly low tides create access to nearby beaches through the sand extension. As the coast stretch is almost horizontal, the water covers the beach again very quickly. Do you think these rock formations are beautiful?
