Sports and leisure activities Cancale

This 6.5 km hiking trail runs along the coastline between the Guesclin beach and the Pointe du Grouin. Walk around the Pointe du Nid with your best walking shoes and a water bottle. Walk on the cove of the Orchard: you will only have to cross a point and a beach to reach the Pointe du Grouin. You will then discover a magnificent panorama on the bay of the Mont-Saint-Michel and on the Landes island, home of colonies of gulls and cormorants.

Created in 1995 by a group of enthusiasts for traditional song and maritime culture, the Phare Ouest Association has, in just a few years, become one of the leading cultural organizations in the Cancale area. It succeeded in raising children's awareness of traditional maritime songs, giving birth to the group "Les Pirates". In 2000, she began organizing the "Les Bordées de Cancale" festival, an event that brings artists closer to their audiences in a variety of venues: cafés, gardens, squares, cabaret tents, etc., held every year on the last weekend of September. Today, this festival has become a must for fans of traditional maritime singing in Brittany.

Facing the Mont-Saint-Michel, the nautical center offers various activities: sea garden, discovery of sailing for youngsters, optimist, catamaran, windsurfing as well as walks. You can take swimming lessons and rent a kayak or paddle. In winter, the center offers sailing lessons for adults. In summer, training courses are organized for children with the privateers' clubs (discovery of the marine environment, treasure hunt...).

This association from Cancale, proposes sea trips on board a Bisquine, one of these powerful rigs that were used for different fisheries (trawling, long lines and oyster draining). This one is the authentic reconstruction of the Perle, a Bisquine of 1905. Embark on a nautical trip to discover the archipelago of Chausey, Cancale and participate in the navigation maneuvers on the advice of the crew. Unforgettable.
