Beaches that blow your mind

Our beaches can be a real head-turner, and we love it! When the weather gets in the way and the waves are spectacular, the beach becomes a dynamic place to do something.

Into the water!

Surfing, windsurfing, foiling, water walking… There are so many ways to enjoy the water in a fun way.

For surfing, the spots in the Bay of Audierne (La Torche, Tronoën, Penhors) are perfect and, in season, surf schools offer equipment hire and supervision.
For windsurfing and foiling, there are the sailing centres on the south coast: Sainte-Marine, Île-Tudy, Lesconil, Loctudy, Le Guilvinec and Penmarc’h.
You can gowater-walking on your own or with an instructor on all the beaches in the Bigouden region.
