Plage des Dunes, Beach in Penvénan, Brittany, France
Plage des Dunes stretches along the Brittany coast and features small dunes with terrain that shifts between pebbles and sand based on tidal changes. The area includes several small islands such as Brug Island that become accessible during low tide.
The beach has preserved its natural character across decades without major development or alteration. This unspoiled coastline has remained a defining feature of the location.
The beach is part of a regional walking network that connects coastal communities and reflects Brittany's maritime heritage. Visitors can see how the shore remains central to local life and traditions.
The beach has lifeguard coverage during summer months and provides parking plus seasonal services like paddle board rentals and food stands. Visitors should monitor tidal conditions closely since they greatly affect which areas are walkable.
The beach transforms dramatically with the tides, appearing narrow and pebbly at high tide and wide with sandy expanses at low tide. This daily shift reveals new routes and landscapes depending on when you visit.
