Plage de Port Miquel

Port Miquel beach runs along the eastern shore of Île-aux-Moines with fine sand and natural rock formations scattered throughout the area. The beach sits next to a small village and is marked by the nearby Saint-Michel Church, which is visible from the water.

The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as shown by archaeological remains found here. This early presence shows that the island has served as a living space for thousands of years.

The beach serves as a meeting point for locals who spend time here and appreciate its proximity to Saint-Michel Church, making it part of the island's daily life. This connection between shore and village turns the place into an important social hub for residents.

Swimming at the beach depends on tide levels, so check the schedule to find the best times for your visit. The most favorable conditions happen during high tide, when the entire beach becomes fully accessible.

From the beach, you can see across the water to several small islands and the Arradon peninsula on the opposite shore. This view makes the location a good spot to observe the island landscape of the Morbihan Gulf.
