Attraction and Infrastructure

As for the main features of the beaches of Brittany, they are as follows:

  • The region's beaches are mainly wide, moderate length and have a high level of cleanliness. The most common surface is sand of bright color.
  • Usually, entry into the water is gentle, which is very good for kids. There are 157 such beaches.
  • An important clarification, 94 beaches in the region have a long intertidal zone, which means that during low tide hours you may have to travel a considerable distance. This is also something to consider if you don't want to suddenly be in the water at high tide.
  • The average distance from the road to beach in Brittany is less than 500 meters. 263 beaches are relatively easy to access, 4 beaches are difficult to access, which in most cases means that you have to walk a quite long distance, and 1 beach are only accessible from the water. The latter include both island beaches and beaches with no land routes due to the natural borders.

Wild beaches with no infrastructure dominate the coastline of Brittany however, even here you can find a beach with a standard set of accessories: sun beds, umbrellas, restaurants, showers and toilets.

The Raguénes peninsula is a fantastic destination for any season. I have been spearfishing in this area for quite some time, although I only take a few fish for personal consumption a few times a year. The rock flats in this area are abundant with marine fauna and flora, but unfortunately, fishing boats are causing damage to the ecosystem through overfishing. It's frustrating that the law only allows small line fishermen to catch two bars per day while boats are authorized to fill their nets without any regard for the impact on the environment. It's disheartening to witness this when you know firsthand the challenges of catching fish in open water. Despite this issue, the Raguénes peninsula remains a superb place to visit and I highly recommend it.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 35 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is July - air temperature during this time warms up to 23.2°C and water up to 20.3°C in August. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 9.1°C and water to 10.5°C.
