Peace and quiet guaranteed! Check the tide times to be sure you have enough time to get to and from l’Île Callot.

Plage du Port

Plage du Fond de la Baie

This is a large beach of fine white sand, bordering the municipal campsite.

Plages du Moulin de la Rive

Get its name from the mill that used to stand here. It’s north-facing with pebbles and rocks, the sea can be very powerful here, so take care – especially with children.

Plage de Pors ar Villiec

Between the Pointe du Château and the Pointe du Corbeau, this beach attracts families as the children love playing in the rockpools. Others prefer scouring the beach for shellfish and tiny shrimp that appear at low tide. Those who are more energetic will certainly appreciate the impressive curls and waves that give this beach its reputation as a surf destination.
