Brittany’s pink sand beach

Plage de la Grève Blanche

Trégastel

The pinkest beach (and one of the most beautiful!) is Grève Blanche. It’s also the most northerly beach and the neighbor of the Grève Rose beach! The dominant pink hue is given by the multitude of pink granite rocks that dot this pretty beach. And yes, this place isn’t called the Côte de Granit Rose for nothing! This beach, which is supervised in July and August, offers a multitude of activities, including dinghy sailing, windsurfing, sea kayaking and stand-up paddling. And if you’re looking for something to do nearby, head to the Presqu’île Renote for a lovely hike. The perfect combination of health and trails!

The largest beach on the Pink Granite Coast

The Lieue de Grève

from Saint Michel en Grève to Plestin-les-Grèves

Of all the beaches in Brittany’s Côte de Granit Rose region, the largest is undoubtedly the one that stretches its white sand from Saint-Michel-en-Grève to Saint Efflam. Over 4 km long, it’s the perfect spot for sand yachting, kitesurfing and surfing lessons for children on their vacations in Brittany. But above all, the beach is a magnificent playground! Once a year, for example, it transforms into a racecourse. It’s almost as if you’re looking forward to low tide on this multi-faceted beach!

Dominated by the majestic Lézardrieux bridge, this may not be the quietest beach, but it’s certainly the sunniest! A good excuse for a refreshing swim during the summer vacations. Facing south, it’s perfectly sheltered from the prevailing winds. Don’t forget your sun cream!
