Plage de Beaumer, Sandy beach in Carnac, France.
Beaumer is a sandy beach in Carnac that stretches east of the main beach beyond Churchill Point, offering views of Stuhan Island and the Kervilhen nature site. The beach has a gentle slope and covers an extensive sandy area, especially at low tide.
The beach lies near Carnac's prehistoric megalithic alignments, which date back to the Neolithic period. These stone arrangements bear witness to ancient cultures that inhabited this coast thousands of years ago.
The beach supports traditional shellfish gathering, where people collect clams, cockles, and razorfish during seasonal organized outings.
Swimming here is best at high tide, as the waterline retreats significantly at low tide. Check tide schedules before your visit to plan activities and make the most of the water access.
The sheltered position between Churchill Point and Men-Du Beach creates shifting water conditions throughout the day. This results in calmer or more active water depending on the time and tides.
