Plage de Lost-Marc'h, Sandy beach on Crozon Peninsula, France
Plage de Lost-Marc'h is a sandy beach on the Crozon Peninsula with pebbles mixed into the sand and natural cliffs bordering the water. The shore extends along the Atlantic coastline without significant development, creating an open and spacious setting.
During World War II, this location served as a military observation point and still shows remnants of wartime structures. The coastal position made it strategically important for monitoring Atlantic approaches to the region.
The beach inspired a perfume brand created in 2006 that captures the scents of the Breton coast through its fragrances. Visitors often discover this connection between the landscape and the fragrance it inspired while walking along the shore.
The beach is accessed through a marked walking trail from the parking area, taking about 15 minutes on foot. The path is generally passable, though visitors should expect uneven ground and wind along the exposed coast.
The beach includes separate zones, with a naturist area at the far end while keeping traditional sections for other visitors. This arrangement allows different groups to share the same shoreline comfortably.
