The island of Saint-Michel is a coastal island in the English Channel, located in the municipality of Erquy in the Côtes-d'Armor department in the northeast of Brittany. It overlooks the beach of the seaside resort of Sables-d'Or-les-Pins, from where it is accessible on foot with a tombolo at low tide. A chapel has been built on its summit.

The Chapel of Saint-Michel on the Îlot Saint-Michel off the coast of Erquy is a small but striking landmark on the north coast of Brittany. Built in the 19th century, it is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel. The chapel stands on a rocky hill on the island and is only accessible from the mainland at low tide via a natural sand and stone causeway. At high tide, the island is surrounded by the sea, giving the chapel an almost mystical feel.

Plage de Lanruen is one of the quieter beaches. The wide, gently curved bay is characterized by light, fine sand and opens wide to the sea. Beyond the beach, fields of ferns, bushes, and a few pines spread out, before the heathland begins further inland.

Plage du Guen is part of the protected landscape surrounding Cap d'Erquy. Nestled between gently rolling heathland slopes, this unspoiled beach reveals its tranquil, pristine side. Fine, pale sand and the changing colors of the sea dominate the landscape, while heather, broom, and pine trees grow in the hinterland. At low tide, rocks and small tidal pools emerge, and the expansive view across the bay extends all the way to Cap Fréhel. Since the beach is only accessible via narrow paths and lacks any tourist infrastructure, it remains a quiet spot—ideal for hikes, nature observation, and moments of tranquility by the sea.
