Plage du Guesclin

Plage du Guesclin sits between Pointe du Nid and Pointe des Grands Nez with fine sand and clear water along the Emerald Coast. The beach spans a good length and provides ample space for swimming and walking.

The beach developed as a natural coastal formation in a region with deep maritime history in Brittany. Fort Duguesclin, accessible at low tide, represents defensive structures built to protect these shores.

The beach serves as a meeting place for locals practicing traditional maritime customs and enjoying the Breton coastal lifestyle. Visitors can observe everyday seaside activities that reflect the region's connection to the ocean.

Parking areas are readily available near the beach and the access is straightforward. Lifeguards are present during summer months from April to September for visitor safety.

At low tide a natural pathway emerges that leads directly to Fort Duguesclin, creating a temporary connection to the fortress. This tidal passage varies in accessibility depending on the tide schedule.
