Plage du Magouëro, Sandy beach in Plouhinec, France.
Plage du Magouëro is a sandy beach with rocky sections and natural dunes that run along the shore near the Etel estuary. The coastline shifts between sandy areas and exposed rock formations as the water recedes.
The beach has long been central to Breton fishing communities and remained largely natural throughout its history. The shoreline played a key economic role in the region's survival and development.
Local fishing families practice their inherited methods along the shore as part of everyday village life. These practices shape the character of the place and connect visitors to the region's maritime roots.
Lifeguards watch over designated swimming areas during summer, and the beach provides parking and shower facilities. Check tide times before your visit to best explore the rock pools and shallow zones.
Low tide reveals rock pools nestled between the stones, home to small sea creatures often missed by passing visitors. These natural basins offer unexpected discoveries for those who pause to look closely.
