Plage de la Roche Percée, Sand beach in Clohars-Carnoët, France.
Description
Plage de la Roche Percée is a sand beach along the Brittany coast bordered by granite cliffs and featuring a natural stone arch formation. The cove sits framed by steep rock walls that create its distinctive appearance.
History
The site dates back to the 19th century when carved grooves in the rocks served seaweed collectors who gathered algae for soil fertilization. These channels were part of the coastal harvesting practices that supported local agriculture at that time.
Culture
The beach forms part of the GR34 coastal trail, a long-distance footpath that allows walkers to follow Brittany's entire coastline, making it a notable point for hikers.
Practical
Visitors reach the beach by walking about 200 meters from the Porsac'h parking area. Steps descend through coastal vegetation to reach the sand below.
Did you know?
Above the cove sits an old freshwater fountain and washing place where red fish swim in clear water. This ancient stone basin remains a quiet reminder of how coastal dwellers once used the site.
