The beach in Brittany with pink sand

La Grève Blanche Beach

Trégastel

The pinkest of all the beaches (and one of the most beautiful!) is La Grève Blanche. It is also the northernmost beach and neighbours La Grève Rose! This predominance of pink is due to the multitude of pink granite rocks that dot this pretty beach. And yes, this place isn’t called the Pink Granite Coast for nothing! This beach, which is lifeguarded in July and August, offers a wide range of activities: dinghy sailing, windsurfing, sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. And if you’re looking for things to do nearby, head to the Renote Peninsula for a lovely walk. The perfect way to combine health and hiking!

Relaxing on Grève-Blanche beach

The largest beach on the Pink Granite Coast

La Lieue de Grève

from Saint-Michel-en-Grève to Plestin-les-Grèves

Of all the beaches in the Brittany Pink Granite Coast region, the largest is undoubtedly the one stretching from Saint-Michel-en-Grève to Saint Efflam. Stretching 4 km in length, it’s a popular spot for sand yachting and kitesurfing, and children learn to surf here during their holidays in Brittany. But above all, the beach offers a magnificent playground! For example, it transforms into a racecourse once a year. You’ll almost find yourself eagerly awaiting low tide on this multi-faceted beach!

The southernmost beach

Traou Treiz beach

Lézardrieux

Dominated by the majestic Lézardrieux bridge, it may not be the quietest beach, but it’s certainly the sunniest! A great excuse to enjoy plenty of refreshing swims during the summer holidays. Facing due south, it is perfectly sheltered from the prevailing winds. Don’t forget your sun cream!
