Plage du Ris, Sandy beach in Douarnenez, France
The Plage du Ris extends along the Douarnenez Bay with fine sand shores and clear views of the Rosmeur port and town.
The beach sits near the location of the mythical submerged city of Ker-Is, which ancient Breton legends say disappeared beneath the waves.
The beach maintains traditional Breton seaside architecture with wooden cabins lining the elevated esplanade above the sandy shore.
Lifeguards monitor swimming activities from July to August between 1 PM and 7 PM, with accessible facilities for visitors with disabilities.
The beach transforms throughout seasons, offering excellent surfing conditions in winter and natural swimming areas during summer months.
