The town of Guilvinec boasts 920 metres of beaches, all ideally situated and featuring beautiful white sand. They are not lifeguard-supervised. La Grève Blanche beach, situated 800 metres from the harbour, is the largest in Guilvinec. It forms a continuation of Steir de Penmarc’h beach. Visitors can enjoy swimming and water sports in a family-friendly atmosphere. It faces due west, looking out towards the Pointe de Penmarc’h and the Eckmühl lighthouse. During the season, a water sports centre offers activities such as catamaran sailing, kayaking and windsurfing. Showers are also available in July and August at the entrance on Rue Jules Guesde. At low tide, it’s lovely to go shellfish gathering. The playground situated on the dunes is very popular all year round. Follow the boardwalk along the GR34 towards Kérity. Toilets are available at the far end of the car park. Nearest bus stop: Kerléguer (250m) Another way to enjoy the beaches and dunes: walk along the dune ridge via the GR34, the legendary ‘customs officers’ path’. Running is also very popular here. Cycling is prohibited on the wooden walkway running alongside Grève Blanche beach. Recommendations: - The dunes and coastal vegetation are very fragile! Help to preserve them by using only the paths designated for walking. Please do not climb over the wooden fences. - For your safety, the walking trails are for pedestrians only. Cycle routes are provided for cyclists. - No, the beaches aren’t dirty! The seaweed on the shore consists of seaweed, which isn’t rubbish but the natural waste product of a living ocean. It’s a rich environment that promotes biodiversity. - Yes, even in Brittany the sun can cause you a few problems! Protect your skin with high-factor sun cream, avoid exposure between 12 noon and 3 pm, and wear sunglasses! - Shore fishing is a leisure activity that should not be undertaken without taking a few precautions! Watch out for the tide, which can catch you out, even if you’re an experienced beachcomber! To ensure this special experience remains a pleasure, make sure you check the tide times and don’t set off without your mobile phone! If possible, let someone staying on dry land know about your outing. Also, check with the tourist office about the minimum catch sizes to be observed and any temporary bans. Your catch must remain alive until it is cooked or eaten. Dogs: Following a local by-law, dogs are permitted on the town’s beaches (on a lead): - From 1 May to 30 September: from 8 pm to 10 am - From 1 October to 30 April: no time restrictions
