Next to Port Lin beach — a sandy cove, formerly known as "Anse des Bonnes-Femmes" and bordered to the east by the Pointe du Fort — Jumel Bay is part of the rocky south coast of the peninsula, with cliffs with an average height of 5 meters. Located on a granite island which remained separated from that of Batz-sur-Mer and the mainland until the 9th century, Le Croisic is now part of the wild coast of the Guérande peninsula. With the exception of the narrow isthmus which connects it to Batz-sur-Mer to the southeast, the territory of the commune is surrounded by water, alternating between beaches and cliffs exposed to the Atlantic Ocean.

July 18, 2025,The salt marshes of Guerande
