Kermagen Plage

Kermagen Plage is a sandy and rocky beach on the northern Breton coast where natural rock formations divide the shoreline into distinct sections. The beach stretches along the water with areas suitable for swimming and sections for exploring the tidal rocks.

The beach developed as a fishing center in the early 20th century when a boat launch ramp was constructed for local maritime activities. This infrastructure allowed the community to continue and expand its connection to the sea.

The beach is a gathering place where locals and visitors connect with the raw beauty of the Breton coast and experience the sea as part of daily life. The area maintains its maritime character through fishing and boating activities that follow the natural rhythm of the tides.

The beach has outdoor showers, restrooms, a children's play area, and free parking near the water. Swimming is safe for about three hours before and after high tide, so checking tidal times beforehand helps plan your visit.

The rock formations at the beach appear and disappear depending on the tidal cycle, creating entirely different landscapes at high and low tide. Visitors who want to explore the rocks must time their visit to low tide to access hidden coves.
