Plage Bonaparte, Historic beach in Plouha, Brittany, France
The beach combines fine sand areas with pebbles, surrounded by high cliffs and offers a natural setting for maritime activities along the Brittany coast.
During World War II, Plage Bonaparte served as a vital escape route for Allied airmen through the Shelburn network, facilitating their return to England.
The beach maintains strong connections to Breton maritime traditions, with local fishing practices and seafood gathering continuing throughout the seasons.
Visitors can access the beach through a carved rock tunnel, with parking facilities available approximately two kilometers from the D786 road intersection.
The beach changes dramatically between tides, transforming from a large sandy expanse during low tide to a small pebble-covered area at high tide.
