The other beaches of Quiberon !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Europe, France

So I have written bits and pieces in several posts about them but never one dedicated to the wonderful beaches of Quiberon just south of me and our favorite. This will change today as will tell you about the wonderful isthmus of Quiberon that goes into a peninsula or presqu’île de Quiberon all the way to the tip of the city of Quiberon. Let me tell you sort of an introduction to the other beaches of Quiberon !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

Quiberon is situated in the beautiful Morbihan dept 56 of the lovely region of Bretagne, and in my belle France. The southern end of the peninsula of the same name, which also includes part of the territory of the town of Saint-Pierre-Quiberon. Quiberon is located 28 km from Auray , 44 km (27 miles) from me to the tip of Place Hoche, and 507 km from Paris. The city has ten beaches, and we have visited them all !! We have our favorite with their own post in my blog, this post is on the other beaches of Quiberon, These beaches with a couple pics found are :

Plage du Goviro at Bd. du Goviro Promenade Louison Bobet At the foot of the Sofitel Thalassa Sea and Spa and the Municipal Camping du Goviro, facing Belle-Ile-en-Mer island, this small sandy beach is an ideal place to relax. Hikers on the trail nearby, can bask in before returning to their path! An armchair for the launching of people with disabilities is available at the reception of Camping du Goviro. Parking cars and bikes nearby. Emergency call terminal for rescue.

Plage de l’Aérodrome Bd. de la Teignouse   Large and beautiful sandy beach, often sheltered from the wind and facing the Bay of Quiberon. It will delight swimmers and thrill seekers, who in the direction of the winds, will see off the small bi-planes and other small planes of tourism to face the track of the aerodrome located a few meters behind the beach! Children will also find a skate park and a dirt bike track nearby.

Port Jean Beach located after the spa center and the beginning of the tip of Conguel. There are several sandy beaches (swimming is difficult at low tide along the road. The environment is nice. There are a few trees with picnic tables and toilets in the center of the tip. A car park is also available by the beach at the beginning of the tip.

The plage de la Jument  is at the end of the Pointe du Conguel (see post). It is one of the wildest beaches of Quiberon and its attendance is quite low even in summer ;usually we stop at the beach of Conguel which is very beautiful and right next to the parking

Plage de la Thalasso (Goulvars) Promenade Louison Bobet At the foot of the Sofitel Thalassa Sea and Spa and Thalassotherapy Institute, facing Belle-Ile-en-Mer island , (photo from the Sofitel) this small sandy cove is an ideal place for spa guests of the Institute who access it directly by the promenade Louison Bobet. Hikers on the nearby trail, can also bask in before heading back! Parking cars and bikes nearby.

Plage de Port Maria is located next to the main beach (on the right) at the port. This beach is more a playground for children; swimming is not recommended since it is located in the harbour … For those looking for space at the height of the season when the different beaches of Quiberon are full. It is perfect to play on.

Plage de Saint-Julien or du Drehen, Rue de la Petite Côte Sandy beach and rocks, ideal for playing at low tide. Located opposite the Bay of Quiberon, you can see in the distance, the coast of Carnac and watch the regattas!

Plage de Castéro Bd. de Castéro Small family beach, Quiberon Bay side. Beware, at high tide, the beach is completely covered! Parking and WC nearby.

Plage du Porigo Boulevard des Emigrés ; Sandy beach located near the port of Plaisance Port Haliguen and sailing school ASNQ. It is appreciated for its sun in the morning and its orientation on the Bay of Quiberon which protects it from the west winds. This family beach is supervised during the months of July and August and has a launching pad for fans of sea outing. An armchair for launching people with reduced mobility is also available at help station. Showers and toilets nearby.

Plage de Kermorvan Rue des Galets , Another launching beach on the Bay of Quiberon where you can see in the distance the marina Port Haliguen (see post). The sand is more granular. Hikers of the GR34 can refresh their feet and visit the pretty village of Kermorvan nearby.

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.
