Plage de Sainte-Barbe, Sandy beach in Plouharnel, France.

Plage de Sainte-Barbe extends along the Atlantic coast with fine sand and natural dunes marking its edges. From here you can see two islands in the distance: Île-de-Groix and Belle-Île-en-Mer.

This beach has long held a strategic spot on the Quiberon Peninsula, linking travelers to Belle-Île-en-Mer and other offshore destinations. Its position along maritime routes shaped how the region developed over time.

The northern section draws water sports practitioners who come for surfing and kitesurfing throughout the warmer seasons. This activity gives that part of the beach a dynamic energy, especially on windy days.

Lifeguards patrol the water during summer months, and you will find showers and a large parking area at the entrance. Equipment rentals including loungers are available if you want to settle in for the day.

Dogs on leashes are allowed here, which sets it apart from most other beaches in the Morbihan area. This rule makes it a practical choice for visitors traveling with pets.
