Pen Hat beach, Beach in Camaret-sur-Mer, France
Pen Hat beach stretches along the Atlantic coast near Camaret-sur-Mer and features both sandy areas and zones with harder ground. Tall granite formations frame the shoreline and create natural divisions that separate different activity areas.
This coastline has long served as a fishing ground where local boats landed and nets were cast. The arrival of modern water sports gradually transformed the space into a place where fishing and recreation now share the waters.
Fishermen and water sports enthusiasts share this space, each using different sections according to the season and conditions. The beach shows how traditional work and modern recreation coexist in daily use.
Swimming is not permitted due to strong currents, but surfing and other water sports are available in designated zones. Low tide reveals more of the beach and makes walking along the shore easier.
The ground shifts between fine sand, pebbles, and natural cement-like layers as you walk along the shore. This varied surface creates different sections where certain activities feel more natural than others.
