The Grand'Porte de Saint-Malo is the oldest surviving gate in the city, built in 1582. It consists of two massive round towers connected by a wall and served as the main entrance to the fortified old town (Intra-Muros) until 1708. The gate features niches containing statues of the Madonna and Child ("Notre-Dame des Miracles") and "Saint Christopher," the latter of which is associated with the legend of stopping the great fire of 1661. The Grand'Porte played an important role in defense, trade, and customs control.

The Esplanade Saint-Vincent is the central square at the main entrance to the Old Town. It is located directly in front of the historic Porte Saint-Vincent and connects the city walls to the Plage du Sillon beach. The square serves as an important meeting point for visitors and locals and is the starting point for many city tours. It houses the Tourist Information Office, a large parking garage (Q-Park Saint-Vincent), public restrooms, charging stations for electric cars, bus stops, and a taxi stand. The esplanade is barrier-free and therefore easily accessible for people with limited mobility. It is also frequently used for markets, concerts, and cultural events.

At 3 km long, this is the largest sandy beach in Saint-Malo. Walking along this beach, you can reach Intra-Muros in Paramé. Sillon Beach includes Grande Plage, Hoguette Beach, and Rochebonne Beach. La Digue was built from 1883 to 1913 on an old sandbar (the Sillon) that once connected Paramé to the walled city and provided the only dry-land access at low tide. Originally, a strip of sand was covered with dunes that grew higher and higher as one moved toward Rochebonne, with only a succession of windmills remaining. The first causeway was built in 1509, rebuilt and widened several times... Le Digue, 1,671 meters long, runs along Grande Plage and offers a pleasant stroll, lined with numerous villas built towards the end of the 19th century. Along the Sillon, a line of breakwaters protects the seawall from the force of the waves. Built in the early 19th century based on an idea by the civil engineer Robinault de St-Servan, the oak breakwaters have a depth at least equal to, or even greater than, their visible height.
