A vast curve of sand surrounded by cliffs, Courance beach faces out to sea. Its swell makes it one of the favourite spots for surfing fans!

The name "Plage de la Courance" comes from the old French word corance, meaning a stream of water. The beach took its name from a small stream that used to flow there (Source: L'abécédaire des rues de Saint-Nazaire, Université inter-âges).
