Grande plage de Houat, Sandy beach on Île-d'Houat, France
The Grande Plage de Houat extends over two kilometers along the eastern coast, featuring fine sand and clear waters between the old port and En Tal Point.
The beach area developed alongside the traditional fishing community of Île-d'Houat, where maritime activities have sustained local populations since the 18th century.
Local fishermen maintain their vessels near the beach, contributing to the preservation of traditional fishing methods and maritime practices of the Morbihan region.
Regular ferry services connect the mainland from Quiberon to Île-d'Houat, with the beach accessible through coastal paths from the main village.
During low tide, the beach connects to Er Yoc'h islet through a natural sand bridge, creating temporary exploration opportunities for visitors.
