Who we are?

Imagined by a Breton, Mr. Jean Manquat in the 90s, the Club of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World was born at the Berlin Tourism Fair in February 1997, thanks to the three founding fathers, Michel Met, Hervé Légo, and Bruno Bodard.The early vision was to explore how to reconcile tourism development and preservation of ecosystems.

Between 1998 and 2003, several Bays united to build together what the association is today, an international organization dedicated to tourism and sustainable development.

The founding bays are: Gulf of Morbihan – Bay of Along – Bay of Sommes – Bay of Tadoussac – Bay of Bodrum – Bay of Agadir – Bay of Bantry – Bay of Porto Girolata – Bay of Mont Saint Michel – Bay of San Francisco .

The association of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World, 25 years later, brings together 42 bays from Europe, Asia, Africa, and of the Americas.
