Plage de l'Aber

Plage de l'Aber sits on the Crozon Peninsula and opens onto Morgat cove, with cliffs of Tréberon and Raguénès points framing the shoreline. The beach displays varied elevations and is shaped by the tidal zone, which regularly floods and exposes different sections throughout the day.

The area saw settlement during the Iron Age and later Roman activity, particularly in salt production for fish preservation. These ancient practices reflect early industrial use of this coastal zone.

The beach is a meeting point where multiple landscapes converge, with tidal zones, salt meadows, and dunes shaped by ocean forces and seasonal rhythms. Visitors can observe how these different environments exist side by side and influence one another.

The beach is readily accessible on foot and offers good walking paths along different terrain types. Visitors should pay attention to tidal conditions, as they significantly affect access to certain areas and the available space.

The beach features unusual geological formations with doleritic blocks from ancient lava flows that resemble eggs embedded in the rock. These stones tell the story of volcanic events that shaped the landscape millions of years ago.
