Plage du Béniguet, Beach on Île-d'Houat, France

Plage du Béniguet, known in Breton as Treac'h er Benigued, is a small beach at the western tip of Île-d'Houat, at the back of a rocky bay. The islets of Guric and Cenis shelter the cove, making it one of the island's main anchorage spots alongside Gouret and Salus beaches.

The beach, known in Breton as Treac'h er Benigued, lies at the western tip of Île-d'Houat in a rocky bay sheltered by Guric and Cenis islands. It is one of the island's main anchorage sites, together with Plage du Gouret and Plage du Salus.

The beach is known by its Breton name, Treac'h er Benigued, more often than by its French name. It is one of the island's three main anchorage sites, together with Plage du Gouret and Plage du Salus, so boats moor in the bay behind the Guric and Cenis islands.

Reaching this beach requires taking a ferry boat from mainland ports like Quiberon, with schedules that change by season. Plan your visit around these ferry times, as they determine when you can access the island.

At low tide, rocky pools form along the shore and reveal small fish, crustaceans, and colorful seaweed trapped inside. These temporary pools appear and disappear with the tides, offering fleeting glimpses of marine life that normally stays hidden underwater.
