Côte de Granit Rose, Natural coastal area in northern Brittany, France.

The Pink Granite Coast extends for thirty kilometers from Plestin-les-Grèves to Louannec, featuring pink granite formations and turquoise waters along the shoreline.

Local granite quarries near La Clarté have supplied construction materials for centuries, with similar geological formations found only in Corsica and China.

The Sept-Îles archipelago functions as a national nature reserve, supporting large colonies of seabirds including puffins, gannets, and cormorants throughout the year.

Visitors can explore the coastline through the GR 34 hiking path, which connects multiple beaches and provides access to tidal pools during low water.

The granite stones display color variations from pink to grey, with their most intense rose hues visible during direct sunlight exposure.
