Saint-Colomban beach

Saint-Colomban beach is a sandy shore along the Bay of Quiberon with golden sand and clear water for swimming and water sports. The beach stretches generously along the coast, providing plenty of space for different activities.

This location sits near prehistoric megalithic alignments that reveal early human settlement in the area. The presence of these ancient structures underscores the region's deep historical roots.

You can watch local fishermen gathering shellfish by hand at low tide, continuing customs that have shaped daily life here for generations. This quiet practice connects people directly to the rhythms of the sea and tides.

The beach has supervised swimming areas during summer and provides parking, restrooms, and drinking water stations. Check tide times before your visit, as they affect beach conditions and activities.

This is Carnac's westernmost beach and draws professional windsurfers because of its consistent wind conditions. The reliable winds combined with good wave patterns make it a preferred meeting place for this sport.
