The 6 best beaches in Guidel
Relaxation and swimming on Morbihan beaches
Guidel is one of the Morbihan’s top destinations for enjoying the beach with family or friends. Here, the large number of fine sandy beaches means that everyone can find the one that suits them best: lazing around, board sports, supervised, with young children…
Most of Guidel-plages’ beaches have been awarded the Pavillon Bleu label, which recognizes the quality of the environment and bathing water. Let’s take a look at some of the beaches you’ll discover on your vacation in Southern Brittany…
The Loch beach
Just a stone’s throw from the Loch nature reserve, this beach is renowned for its many waves and water sports.
The beach is over 500m long, so there’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the peace and quiet.
The Loch beach is relatively hidden thanks to its dunes, which offer a wild and natural setting for relaxation. On days when the waves are plentiful, it’s a veritable living spectacle with its many surfers taming the vagaries of the weather.
The many activities on offer allow everyone to enjoy water sports with a breathtaking view of the island of Groix.
The cliff beach
Plage de la Falaise, a continuation of Plage du Bas-Pouldu, is the perfect spot to try your hand at kitesurfing, thanks to the surf schools on site.
This beach is a real playground for kiteboarders, as it’s ideally located at the mouth of the Laïta river.
However, this Blue Flag beach is also supervised, as it has many sandbanks that encourage strong currents. So take care when swimming between the appropriate flags.
Thanks to the many bars and restaurants nearby, you can enjoy the seaside during your family vacation.
Pen er Malo beach
This large, handicap-accessible beach is the ideal family beach, thanks to its tranquility and facilities such as showers and WCs.
Of course, the beach is supervised during the summer months, so everyone can enjoy a peaceful swim during the summer vacations. Of course, like all Guidel’s beaches, it’s also a popular surfing spot for beginners.
Nearby parking makes it easy for everyone to enjoy the coastline on this beautiful beach.
Kerdr beach
Plage du Kerdr, opposite the Fort du Loch, is both intimate and friendly.
Halfway between Plage du Loch and Plage de Pen Er Malo, Plage du Kerdr stands out for its authenticity and charm.
At low tide or high tide, it welcomes family, friends and holidaymakers for a moment in harmony with nature on the Atlantic coast, along the coastal path.
Its relaxing, calm landscape is ideal for a picnic or simply a moment of sunbathing, as you prefer.
Laannénec beach
Located between Pen Er Malo beach and Fort-Bloqué beach, Lanénec beach takes its name from the nearby pond.
Often mistaken for a beach in the municipality of Fort-Bloqué, this beach belongs to Guidel-plages and is also renowned as a surfer’s beach.
In fact, like all the other beaches on the Brittany coast, it’s one of the most popular for water sports activities such as paddling, sand yachting, kayaking and jet-skiing.
Bas Pouldu beach
Last but not least, the Bas-Pouldu beach is located at the mouth of the Laïta river, near the Guidel marina, and features parking lots, pedestrian zones, cycle paths and play areas, giving you direct access to the pleasures of the great outdoors.
Just a few meters from the beach, you’ll find bars, restaurants and shops where you can stroll with a view of the sea, or simply enjoy a relaxing stroll.
The Altantic ocean as far as the eye can see makes Guidel an ideal seaside resort for strolls along the coastal paths, where you’ll find many coves on the wild coastline.
