Grève de Minieu

Greve de Minieu is a sand beach along the Breton coast that stretches for several kilometers with fine, undulating sand throughout. The shoreline is edged by low dunes and includes accessible pathways with ramps, shower facilities, and restrooms, while a small island with a chapel sits visible offshore.

The beach developed in the 1920s as an upscale resort destination modeled after the Cote d'Azur, with geometric architecture from that era still visible today. The area was once a fishing village, and its maritime heritage remains evident in how the location has adapted to tourism while preserving its coastal character.

The beach is named after its fine sand terrain and serves as a gathering place for both locals and visitors seeking relaxation. Life here follows a quiet rhythm, shaped by proximity to the sea and fishing traditions passed down through generations.

The beach has several free parking areas nearby and is equipped with accessible ramps, showers, and restroom facilities including wheelchair access. Lifeguards monitor the area during summer months, chair and umbrella rentals are available, and local water sports clubs offer lessons and equipment rentals.

A small island with a medieval chapel becomes accessible on foot when the tide recedes, exposing a sandy passageway across the seabed. This natural phenomenon draws photographers and explorers who enjoy discovering the island during low tide.
