The most beautiful natural sites to discover Brittany

The islands are scattered throughout the Gulf, with a greater concentration in the Vannes and Noyalo rivers (37 islands), while the smaller Auray River has only 5 islands, apart from Île aux Moines and its neighbour Île d'Arz, the other islands are often private property, ranging in size from a few hundred square metres to several hectares. A guided boat trip is a must!

Carnac offers beautiful beaches (like the Grande Plage, Saint-Colomban beach, Légénèse and Ty Bihan beaches, or the Beaumer and Men Dû beaches) pleasantly sheltered and famous for their fine sand, their gentle slopes or the clarity of their water. The city is certified as for the quality of its swimming water and is listed in zone A (high quality water). Exceptional natural heritage, the Carnac littoral is preserved. Areas for bathing is supervised on the Grande Plage and the Saint-Colomban beach during summer. Carnac is also the bathing area for all thanks to the Tourisme et Handicap label.

The two main beaches of Trégastel are the White Strike and the beach of the Coz-Pors. A fine sandy beach, the first one offers many nautical activities. Coz-Pors, with its pink granite rocks carved by the elements, is a magical place. This beautiful beach is also equipped with a wheelchair wheelchair which allows access to the water of people with reduced mobility. Banned for animals from June 15 to September 15, both are monitored in July and August.

Cut out, lined with reefs and bristling with large granite blocks, the Pointe de Plougrescant is worth a visit. The very famous house between the rocks of Castel Meur, whose image has been seen all over the world, does not fail to amaze visitors. But beware, it is private property and any commercial representation is prohibited, since unscrupulous tourists have caused damage to the site. A barrier blocks access to it. Nearby is the Abyss, an impressive fault between two rocks. During high winds, the waves break powerfully between the rocks and create a spectacular spectacle. From the village of Plougrescant, it is possible to take a nice walk, where you will see other houses nestled against venerable granite masses.

This point is most in the west of French territory. Because of its geographical position, it is also regarded as the boundary point between the Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. Facing her, the sea, the islands of the Molène archipelago and the island of Ouessant… This is the direction in which Trezien's lighthouse and the C.R.O.S.S. are located here, night and day, the staff observe the maritime activity with priority over the rail of Ouessant, crossing a hundred miles west of the island and borrowed by more than 55 000. 000 ships a year. Please note: To accompany you, an interpretive course and an orientation table.

Classified as early as 1978 at the Conservatoire du Littoral, this peninsula was spared by real estate projects. The only constructions present are elements of fortifications of different eras (some due to Vauban), the fort de l 'Illette (which does not visit and is not accessible), as well as the lighthouse of Kermorvan. The latter, up to twenty meters and square form, is connected to the mainland by a granite bridge. Its construction dates back to 1849 and its luminous reach is in the 22 miles, a forty kilometers. Automated since 1994, it is remote controlled from Brest and does not visit. The peninsula is a pleasant place to walk. A hiking trail allows you to turn around and enjoy beautiful views. On the south side, after borrowing the Croaë Bridge, you can admire the Convent harbor and its harbor. North side, a breathtaking view of the beautiful and large beach of White Sablons.

Beautiful walk in prospect not to be missed. The path leads to the superb views by any weather and in any season. When the wind picks up and the sea breaks loose, it is the perfect place to watch the waves pass over the lantern of the Four lighthouse. Along the way, you will discover a renovated seaweed oven which bears witness to the goémonière activity in the region. In short, it is a pleasant and easy place for an hour stroll and easily accessed. 

Between the beaches of Logis and the point of Kerdra, parking on a parking lot after Lostmarc'h. Direction Morgat, then the goat's cap. Instead of "Saint Herbot", turn right, direction "alignement of menhirs", then park on the small wilderness parking. 15 minutes walk on the coastal trail on the left. The gay part of the naturist beach is at the cutting edge, but there are naughty couples too. Dredge also in the small wood above the beach.
