Strangely the main aquarium in Saint Malo is not next to the sea, and is quite a long way out of the old town centre, best accessed by bus or car from the central regions. The aquarium is one of the finest in the country and is one of the only circular aquariums in the world. In this way, visitors can feel that they area truly part of the seascape as they are surrounded by creatures of the deep that they would usually never be able to get close to.
