Plage du Saussaye, located in Cancale, Ille-et-Vilaine, Brittany, is a quiet and secluded beach often praised for its natural beauty and tranquility. This sandy cove is nestled between cliffs near the Moulière Point and is considered one of the most picturesque coves in Ille-et-Vilaine. The beach's location northwest of Cancale's town center, along the GR 34 hiking trail, makes it a peaceful retreat away from the bustling crowds of the town.

The beach's natural features are one of its main attractions. It boasts a pristine stretch of sand and minimal plastic debris, indicating a well-preserved environment. The coastline is rocky, and at low tide, tide pools can be seen, further enhancing the beach's charm. The surrounding greenery enhances the beach's aesthetic appeal.

A unique feature of Plage du Saussaye is the presence of small ocean pools that serve as mini-ecosystems among the rocks along the sides of the beach. These pools add to the beach's appeal, but visitors should exercise caution when exploring during tides. The beach is also known for wildlife viewing, with bottlenose dolphins frequently spotted, which enhances the overall visitor experience.

Access to the beach is via a steep path from the parking lot.

Nice beach. No lifeguards. The GR34 and the mountain bike trail meet there.

To protect the environment, some coastal paths are now closed to mounted bicycles. It is still possible to use them by pushing a bicycle.
