Plobannalec-Lesconil boasts 230 m of sandy beaches, all ideally exposed.
The pretty little beach (100m long) at Les 4 vents is ideally situated next to the port, the nautical centre and the shops. It has a slight slope but is ideal for families who enjoy water sports, games (volleyball net) and fishing on foot. There are showers in summer, toilets nearby, a bookshop and a nearby car park. Nearest bus stop: Marcel Cachin (500m)
PRM: Hippocampe available in July and August at the nautical centre for use at the plage des quatre vents.
Another way to enjoy the beaches and dunes is to walk along the coastal path along the GR34, the legendary customs path.
Recommendations:
- The dunes and maritime vegetation are very fragile! Help preserve them by using only the paths designated for the walk. Please do not cross the ganivelles.
- For your safety, the footpaths are for pedestrians only. There are cycle routes for cyclists.
- No, the beaches are not dirty! Seaweed is not waste, but the natural waste product of a living ocean. It's a rich environment that encourages biodiversity.
- Yes, even in Brittany the sun can cause you a few problems! Protect your skin with sunscreen, avoid exposure between 12pm and 3pm and wear sunglasses!
- You can't go fishing on foot without taking a few precautions! Watch out for the tide, which can take you by surprise, even if you're a regular! To make sure you have a great time, be sure to check the tide times and don't leave without your mobile phone! If possible, let someone on land know about your getaway. Also, ask at the tourist office about catch sizes and any temporary bans. The fruit of your catch must remain alive until cooked/tasted.
Dogs welcome
By municipal decree, dogs are not allowed on the beach from 1 May to 30 September to protect wildlife and for health reasons.
Outside this period, dogs must always be kept on a lead.
