Plage de Kerneuc, Sandy beach in Mousterlin, Fouesnant-les-Glénan, France.
Plage de Kerneuc is a broad sandy beach on the Breton coast with fine sand that slopes gradually into the Atlantic, lined with dunes along its length. The shore stretches for several kilometers and offers open views across the water toward offshore islands.
The beach has been central to maritime life in Pays Fouesnantais for centuries, with fishing communities building settlements along this coast. The local economy and settlement patterns developed around the ocean's resources and the need for safe anchorages.
The beach reflects the fishing heritage that remains visible in daily activities, with local boats and maritime traditions still part of the coastal landscape. Visitors see how the ocean continues to shape the rhythm of life in this Breton community.
The beach can be reached through several access points with designated parking for cars and campervans near the dunes. Check tide conditions and weather before your visit, as these significantly affect your experience of the shore.
On clear days the Glénan archipelago becomes visible from the shore, a group of islands several kilometers away that attracts sailing vessels year-round. The view of passing boats heading toward these islands gives the beach a connection to a wider maritime landscape.
