Lestrevet, Sandy beach in Plomodiern, France
Lestrevet is a beach on the Bay of Douarnenez in Brittany, stretching about 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) with firm sand and dunes. The coast includes supervised swimming areas, showers, accessible facilities, and equipment rental services for water sports.
The name Lestrevet comes from the Breton language and refers to the wind and open water that have always defined this place. This linguistic heritage reflects the natural forces that have shaped the beach since ancient times.
The beach hosts Breizhwind, an annual wind sports gathering where locals and visitors gather to experience water activities together. This event has made the location a meeting point for wind sports enthusiasts along the Breton coast.
The beach provides toilets, changing facilities, and disabled access, making visits comfortable for everyone. Good facilities mean visitors can easily spend a few hours or a full day on the sand.
The hard-packed sand and constant winds make this a rare center for land sailing and kite flying, sports hard to find elsewhere. These special conditions draw enthusiasts every year who want to try these unusual activities on the coast.
