Plage des Godelins

Plage des Godelins is a sandy beach on Brittany's northern coast stretching for about 1 kilometer. Golden sand lines the shore and large rock outcrops break up the water along its length.

During World War II, German forces built defensive structures along this stretch as part of the Atlantic Wall fortifications. Remnants of these military works still mark the landscape.

Local fishermen continue their traditional practice of foot fishing during low tide around Les Bancs Roux sandbanks near Plage des Godelins.

The beach has supervised swimming areas with lifeguards, showers, and changing facilities during peak season. Both free and paid parking are available nearby.

At low tide, the David Rock formation near the lifeguard station becomes surrounded by shallow water and reveals a small rocky island base. Many swimmers use it as a diving point, adding an unexpected element to beach activities.
