Plage de Pen Guen

Plage de Pen Guen is a wide sand beach located in Saint-Cast-le-Guildo on the Breton coast. The shoreline extends between two rocky points and slopes gradually into the water, making it accessible for families with young children.

The beach became a popular destination for local families in the early 20th century. Over time it has retained its natural appearance while gaining basic amenities for visitors.

The Vitavoile sailing school at Pen Guen beach preserves the maritime traditions of Brittany by teaching sailing techniques to new generations.

Swimming areas are supervised during summer months, and free parking is available near the beach. Public buses reach the location regularly, making it easy to get there without a car.

Low tide reveals extensive sandbanks that temporarily form natural pools and habitats for seabirds. These shallow water areas appear regularly and offer visitors a different view of the coastal landscape.
