Plage de Penhors

Plage de Penhors is a wide sandy beach on Brittany's coast that stretches for several kilometers and is lined with natural dunes. The water opens onto Audierne Bay, and the sand slopes gently into the sea.

The area has been occupied by humans since prehistoric times, as shown by archaeological finds nearby. This long history demonstrates how valuable this coastal location has been for thousands of years.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors walk, swim, and spend time together throughout the year. Life here revolves around the rhythms of the tides and seasons.

The beach has multiple access points with parking available and restroom facilities near the main entrances. Lifeguards are present during summer months, and pathways provide easy access to the water.

At low tide, the beach becomes significantly wider and reveals new areas to explore along the coast. This constant shifting of the landscape with the tides is a defining feature of visiting here.
