Plage de Kerhornou

Plage de Kerhornou is a sandy beach along the northern Breton coast with fine sand mixed with natural rock outcrops facing the Atlantic waters. The shoreline slopes gently with shallow areas scattered with stones at various points along the sand.

The beach lies in the Le Leon region, a historical area between the Arrée Mountains and the Island of Batz that was long shaped by fishing and farming. The surroundings kept their rural character over the centuries as larger changes arrived only in recent times.

The area displays Breton traditions through small chapels and old stone houses that shape the rural character of this coastal region. Walking here, you notice how this local architecture has influenced daily life for many generations.

Free parking and restroom facilities are available near the beach entrance. Swimming is unsupervised and at your own risk, while water sports activities are not allowed.

The tides reveal changing landscapes daily, sometimes wide sand areas and sometimes small pools trapped between rocks that hold water temporarily. This constant shift makes each visit feel different.
