Corsen beach in Plouarzel
Bordered by cliffs and sheltered from the wind, this beach boasts some of the clearest water in the Iroise region. But above all, it invites contemplation with its view of the Molène archipelago and the island of Ouessant. As night falls, you'll be privileged to witness the last sunset and the sweep of lights, lighthouses and beacons across the Iroise Sea.
THE MOST SHELTERED
Trez Hir beach in Plougonvelin
The Trez Hir beach is ideal for the whole family. South-facing and sheltered from the wind, it is popular all year round with walkers, joggers and water sports enthusiasts. The Plougonvelin nautical center offers sailing courses during the vacations for children and experienced sailors alike. Fancy a kayak trip in the Bertheaume cove? A rental point awaits you in summer. Accessible to people with reduced mobility, the Trez Hir beach has been awarded the Handiplage label.
Set
Did you know? Seaweed, made up of natural debris washed up on beaches (seaweed, sea grasses, small crustaceans, etc.), prevents coastal erosion. It encourages the development of dunes and vegetation by nourishing the soil in the same way as the dead leaves that litter forests in autumn. The Conservatoire du Littoral therefore recommends leaving this debris in place. Even if it means rethinking our idea of a beautiful beach... 🙃
THE MOST SENSATIONAL
Blancs Sablons beach in Le Conquet
Listed as a Natura 2000 site and awarded the Pavillon Bleu label, this beach nestles in a magnificent bay of rock and fine sand, making it one of the most beautiful and photographed in Brittany. With a length of 2.5 km at low tide, it's a playground for the whole family, from water-sports enthusiasts to long-distance sailors.
MOST ANIMATED
Portez beach in Locmaria-Plouzané
With its nearby campsite and Tuesday concerts, Portez beach is a lively place in summer. Bordered by the coastal path and several cafés-restaurants, it's a landmark for summer visitors and hikers alike. Children love to play on the soft rocks at low tide.
THE MOST REMARKABLE
Tréompan beach in Ploudalmézeau
Welcoming in its size and the quality of its white sand, Tréompan beach, bordered by remarkable dunes, lends itself as much to strolling as to kitesurfing and sand yachting. Marked by the imposing Serpent Rock, a veritable natural screen, the area offers a fantastic family playground for beach soccer or sand castles for the little ones.
