6 of the Best Beaches in Brittany

Brittany abounds in natural beauty and beautiful beaches and in this post I list the 6 best beaches in Brittany so that you too can explore them on your travels. The region is well known for its creamy butter, abundant seafood, salty caramels and cooler temperatures. It also has some of the nicest beaches in France. That's easy considering that the region sports a coastline of over 1,200 kilometres! Over the years, our family have visited many beaches along the Northeast and Western France coastlines and I believe that the beaches in Brittany offer something for everyone.

Whether it's a white sandy beach hidden away that only the locals know about, or a pebbly beach that simply calls out for a scenic stroll, Breton beaches are just waiting for you to discover them. Here's 6 of the best beaches in Brittany.

Île de Groix, Brittany

The region of Brittany is stunning and nothing is prettier than its islands. Île de Groix is a small picturesque island in this region and its 24 square kilometres are so lovely that it attracts lots of visitors and deserves a visit if you can add it to your itinerary. Over the last 12 months I've been visiting some of the islands in my region (Île de Batz, Île de Bréhat and Belle Île) and have fallen in love with everything about them.

The boat ride to each island is slightly different and each island has its own vibe. I can't believe just how fairytale sweet the homes on the islands are and the little swimming coves that are dotted around all the islands are divine. Today, I'm sharing what you need to know with stunning photos of Île de Groix, or as it's also known, the 'wild one'.
