Port Goulphar, Beach in Bangor, France.

Port Goulphar beach features two distinct sections, one with small pebbles and another part that submerges during high tide near Belle-Île-en-Mer.

The port developed as a significant maritime hub for Belle-Île-en-Mer island during the 19th century, supporting local fishing operations and trade.

The name Goulphar derives from Breton language elements 'Goul' meaning rocky bottom and 'Far' meaning high, reflecting the local geography.

Visitors can access the beach via D190 road and Port-Coton route, with parking available along the departmental road above the shore.

The coastal area near Port Goulphar contains rock formations that inspired painter Édouard Manet's artworks of Port-Coton needles.
