The Saint-Malo Golf Resort is located in the Mirloup Nature Reserve, which has been designated a Natura 2000 site since 2005.
Saint-Malo and its surrounding region are teeming with natural sites that are important to preserve. Several organizations are dedicated to protecting the coastline, as well as the local flora and fauna. Among them is the Al Lark association, based in Cancale, which helps people discover and study the marine environment and cetaceans.
Natural sites are fragile environments. To help preserve the environment, we ask that you stay on the designated paths and facilities. If pets are allowed, please keep them on a leash. Do not pick flowers or collect pebbles, sand, or anything else that could harm biodiversity. Please be quiet to respect the peace and quiet of the wildlife, and be sure to take your trash with you when you leave.
