Merrien - all beaches

This beach is absolutely stunning!

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.

There's quite a lot of sand for my liking, but if you enjoy that, it's worth checking out! 🙃

This beach is absolutely stunning.

This beach is fantastic - the sand is fine and the water is clear and turquoise. It's also very clean and there's hardly any algae around. The crowds are manageable and there aren't many stones or pebbles in the water. The only downside is that it can be a little windy, which causes a slight swell. Another user had mentioned this before, and it's definitely something to keep in mind.

This is a great beach for families. The sand is fine and the gradual slope into the water is perfect for young children. Board sports enthusiasts will also enjoy the large space and calm waves. There are basic shower facilities available for rinsing off before leaving.
