Plage de Ménez Ham

The beach extends along the Atlantic coastline with golden sand and natural rock formations that create distinct sections for swimming and exploration.

The area near the beach includes the 300-year-old Meneham hamlet, which started as a military lookout point and later housed customs officers until 1840.

The surrounding region maintains strong Breton heritage through local craftsmanship workshops, traditional architecture, and maritime customs that reflect centuries of coastal living.

Visitors can access the beach through marked pathways, with parking facilities available nearby and local tide schedules determining the best times for activities.

The beach sits near thatched cottages where peasant-fishermen gathered seaweed, known locally as goémoniers, maintaining this practice until the early 21st century.
