The guide
Pale sand, pink granite rocks and water that turns turquoise in the sun: the beaches along the coast may look alike, but each has its own character. Here are the ones we recommend, from east to west.
A sheltered cove below the coast road, with fine sand, popular with families. A 5-minute walk from L’Anse Bleue.
Perros-Guirec’s main beach, lifeguarded in season, with its seafront, ice-cream stalls, sailing and surf schools, and the ferry terminal for the Sept-Îles. This is also the starting point of the coastal path (sentier des douaniers).
The most photographed beach: Saint-Guirec’s oratory sits right on the sand, surrounded by pink granite rocks. It’s small and very busy in summer, so go early in the morning.
On the edge of Ploumanac’h, facing Costaérès castle: one of the finest viewpoints on the coast.
At the foot of the sea aquarium and the giant rocks, a handy, lively beach that’s great with children.
Pale sand between the granite boulders, reached via the coastal path. Quieter than Coz-Pors.
Trébeurden’s main beach, sheltered, right at the foot of the resort.
