  3. Sea

It’s hard to imagine a more maritime destination than the Bigouden region! The coastline has 3 sides with 3 different orientations. This means that you experience the sea very differently depending on where you are: in the gentle shelter of a harbour like Sainte-Marine, facing the Atlantic like the Bay of Audierne, or through the eyes of a fisherman in Guilvinec.

Setting sail

Taking to the open seas has never been easier. All the equipment you need to enjoy the ocean is at your fingertips. But it’s also possible to enjoy the sea without venturing far, and even without getting wet, by taking in the scenery, strolling along the coast or discovering the maritime heritage.

Focus on...

How about a breath of fresh sea air? A walk along the Gr 34, a trip out to sea on a tour boat, and so on.

The Bigouden region is definitely all about the sea!
