Plage de Mousterlin, Sandy beach in Fouesnant, France
Plage de Mousterlin is a sandy beach on the Brittany coast that stretches for several kilometers and is bordered by natural dunes and marshes. The shoreline includes both open water and beach areas alongside sheltered sections with typical coastal vegetation.
This beach evolved over centuries as a key location for the local fishing community and shaped the region's connection to the sea. Its use by fishermen and seafarers established a tradition that continues today.
Fishermen and local boaters use this beach as a working harbor where daily maritime activities shape how people interact with the water. The connection to the sea remains central to how locals spend time here.
You can reach the beach by the D134 road, with parking available and public toilets in several sections. Pay attention to the tide times, as water levels change noticeably throughout the day and affect which areas you can access.
At low tide, the western sections reveal shallow pools and tidal channels that vanish as water rises, completely changing what you see when you walk here. These natural shifts make each visit feel different depending on when you arrive.
