A sandy beach dotted with beautiful rocks, Brignogan lighthouse beach is one of the wildest in Finistère. Unsupervised, it invites you to stroll along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, fish on foot or just relax. To the west of Pointe de Pontusval, it offers a unique view of the lighthouse and Kerlouan Island. Nearby parking makes it easy to reach by car.

This beach, with its evocative name, is not very popular because of its difficult access. It is reached by coastal footpaths from a small parking lot equipped with picnic tables. The path to reach it is as beautiful as the beach itself, overhung by pine trees. The Pointe du Cosmeur and Roc'h Gored shelters it from westerly winds.

A heavenly cove bordered by high cliffs, the pebble beach of Ile Vierge is located on the Crozon peninsulanot far from the pointe de Morgat. A coastal path from the Maison des Minéraux takes 20 minutes, combining the pleasure of a magnificent stroll with that of discovering the idyllic beach.

Near Beg Meil, Kermyl beach in Southern Brittany is remarkable for the color of its water, a turquoise hue that invites you to take a dip. Sheltered from the wind, this stretch of sand also boasts a southern exposure, ideal for lounging, sunbathing and swimming. The site is unsupervised.

Named after its granite rock, whose shape evokes that of a large cetacean, Plage de la Baleine is located in Trégunc along the Pointe de Trévignon. The whiteness and fineness of its sand make it one ofthe most beautiful beaches in Finistère. Family-friendly, it lends itself to both swimming and water sports.

Between the Pointe du Raz and the Pointe du Van, the Baie des Trépassés is appreciated by surfers for its powerful swell. Swimming is only permitted on this beach when it is supervised. At low tide, the high cliffs reveal a multitude of submerged caves when the sea is high. Parking is available in the immediate vicinity of the spot.

Located some 15 km offshore from Fouesnant, Saint-Nicolas-des-Glénan is the main island of the Glénan archipelago. It is renowned for one of the most beautiful beaches in France: a sandy tombolo surrounded by turquoise waters, linking the nature reserve of Saint-Nicolas island to the smaller island of Bananec. A paradise-like setting on the open sea, with an air of the end of the world, earning the archipelago its nickname of the "Breton Caribbean".

On either side of the Neïz Vran peninsula and theislet Énez Amann ar Rouz, you'll find a number of charming little coves. Here, you can enjoy unrivalled fine sand, idyllic scenery and peace and quiet. The northern beaches, protected from the winds by the peninsula, are ideal for mooring a boat and simply enjoying the beauty of the surroundings.

On the border between Finistère and Côtes-d'Armor, the Sables Blancs beach owes its name to the quality and finesse of its sand, which extends over several hundred meters. Family-friendly but never overcrowded, the beach is bordered by a parking lot where you'll find a snack bar in summer. Swimming is also supervised in summer.

At the entrance to the Bay of Kernic, Ker Emma beach borders a dune environment several kilometers long: white sand as far as the eye can see, and a most exotic setting. The site lends itself to swimming, walking and fishing, as well as kitesurfing on the bay side.
