Plage Saint-Pierre, Sandy beach in Locmariaquer, France.
Description
Plage Saint-Pierre is a sandy beach near Locmariaquer that stretches between two rocky points along a natural coastline, with fine sand mixed with small pebbles. The shore has an undeveloped look and is backed by protective sand dunes.
History
The shore served as a defense point during World War II, with concrete bunkers still visible today that were built to protect the Quiberon peninsula. These structures remain as physical reminders of the military occupation of this coast.
Culture
The beach is part of the local coastline where people come for walks and to connect with the surrounding landscape. Nearby megalithic monuments are accessible on foot, linking this shore to the region's ancient heritage.
Practical
Several parking areas are located nearby, and visitors should expect about a 10-minute walk through protected dunes to reach the shore. The terrain is relatively flat and the walk is manageable for most people, though it is easier in dry weather.
Did you know?
