Plage Saint-Jean
8 Lena Marquez Silva

This beach is quite pleasant, located along the GR34. The only downside is that it gets crowded quickly when the sun comes out!

Plage de kerambigorn
10 Lila Renard

This beach is simply amazing and has a wonderful atmosphere that exudes positivity. It stretches for quite a distance and is perfect for any type of vacation group. There's even a beach volleyball court for those who want to play. You can do everything from sunbathing and swimming to taking a stroll along the ocean or trying out some water sports. During the season, there's a small cafe near the beach, and the beautiful pine trees along the coast add to the scenery.

Plage de Sainte-Anne
10 Zaloro

The beach is quite spacious and not overly crowded. However, it's advisable to check the tides beforehand as it's not enjoyable to be on dry sand and have to walk 300m to reach the water and an additional 100m to find an even surface.

Plage des Dames
8 Zorin Zorin
