Saint Gildas de Rhuys and its beaches !!!

Posted in Bretagne, France

I have come and enjoy this town several times with many posts ,however, nothing on the beaches !! I found me new older pictures and would like to tell you more about them, This is Saint Gildas de Rhuys in my beautiful Morbihan (Breton language for small sea as French would be petite mer), and my lovely Bretagne in my belle France. It never cease to amazed me the wonders of my Morbihan. Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuys is on the Presqu’ïle de Rhuys peninsula. Its coasts open onto a part of the Atlantic Ocean called Mor Braz (sea from the Gulf of Morbihan to the Atlantic Ocean), but also on the Gulf of Morbihan. Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The best beach at St Gildas for the wild look at it and nice dunes is  plage du Goh Vélin beach , this a vast beachfront wild with nice rocks and the impressive Pointe du Grand Mont rocky overlook nice above it. For the rocky mount Grand Mont is a medium effort walkers route all bordering the beaches and also a bit inland into the marshes.

Practical: 3 car parks are equipped to accommodate vehicles: – Abraham Bay road car park (picnic tables, children’s play area, Le Vert d’O bar-restaurant) – Car park at the bottom of the Sables (access to lifeguard station, seahorse chair) – Parking route du Rohu (access to sailing school).

Another better beach we like around this area is the Kerver beach or plage de Kerver.  This beach goes into the city limits of Arzon and Port du Crousty as well. It is very expansive white sand beach with plenty of water sports available and snacks beach hut across it. Simply a great family beach and safe waters too; highly recommended.  The plage de Kerver beach is the largest beach in Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuys and extends to the town of Arzon – Port du Crouesty – Port Navalo. Practical: On Saint-Gildas, there are 3 main accesses: – Bois du Kerver – Municipal campsite of Kerver (entrance side) – Municipal campsite of Kerver (side of the motorhome parking area). Pets not allowed

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
