Plage de Roc'h Kroum, Beach in Roscoff, Brittany, France
Plage de Roc'h Kroum is a small sandy beach in Roscoff, in the Brittany region of France, facing west toward the bay. It has a diving board, a shower, toilets, and two natural tidal pools that appear at low tide along the shore.
Roscoff has been an active fishing port for centuries, and this stretch of shore was part of everyday coastal life for its residents. Over time, the spot shifted from a simple coastal strip to a public bathing area with basic facilities for summer visitors.
The name Roc'h Kroum comes from Breton and refers to the rocky character of this stretch of coast. In summer, families spread out on the sand with towels and picnic bags, turning the shore into a lively meeting point for the afternoon.
The beach is on Rue Victor Hugo in Roscoff and is easy to reach on foot from the town center. Lifeguards are present during July and August; outside these months, swimming is unsupervised, so it is worth keeping that in mind.
The beach holds the Handiplage label and offers a Hippocampe, an amphibious wheelchair that allows wheelchair users to enter the water. This equipment can also be requested from the local town hall outside of the main summer season.
